For its 50th exhibition, ALICE Gallery has invited the French artist INVADER. The brightly coloured 8-bit characters are adorning streets in many different cities worldwide, making Invader one of the biggest in Street Art, alongside artists such as Banksy and Sheperd Fairey.

For the exhibition , the artist has invaded the streets of Brussels with his mosaics. In the gallery itself, Invader presents the aliases of the Brussels invasion (a unique piece for each street mosaic), installations of Rubik’s cubes and sculptures such as “The Speedball Machine”.

About Invader

In 1996, the artist chooses the alias ‘Invader’ in reference to the game SPACE INVADERS (1978). Inspired by the famous 8-bit characters (such as Super Mario, Pac Man and Space Invaders) he creates thousands of different mosaics placed in various locations across the cities he visits.

In 2011, Invader is rewarded for the E-reputation prize along with Damien Hirst and Sophie Calle. After analysis by Zen Reputation, he is considered as the most famous French artist on the web (excluding the Asian web). He reaches the 27th place in the world.

Nowadays around 82 different cities worldwide have been ‘invaded’ by 2732 space invaders. This comes down to 1,5 million mosaics worldwide!
