French artist Invader is internationally known for his pixelated mosaic “space invaders” which he has placed in over 60 cities around the world for almost 20 years. In January 2014, the artist launched the third wave of his “invasion” in Hong Kong 13 years after he first hit the city.The works showed a significant evolution, displaying characters from local culture and classic cartoons, but still in the artist’s immediately recognisable pixel aesthetic.This invasion was also unique as nearly 90% of his artworks were removed from the walls of the city within a few weeks, wiped out by an over-zealous local highway cleaning crew. Named after this strange undertaking, the exhibition will restore Invader’s creative universe with pieces from the recent Hong Kong invasion, along with never-before seen videos, new LED artworks, and new monumental sculptures. Invader, who remains anonymous, is internationally recognized for his pixelated mosaic “space invaders” which he has placed in over 60 cities around the world since 1998. In January 2014, the artist launched the third wave of his “invasion” in Hong Kong, 13 years after he first hit the city. These works highlighted a significant evolution, featuring familiar tropes from popular culture like Hong Kong Phooey, Popeye or Pac-Man, whilst retaining the artist’s signature pixel aesthetic. The invasion last year also faced a unique fate, with nearly 90% of his artworks removed from the city walls within a few weeks, wiped out by an over-zealous local highway cleaning crew. Disheartened but not discouraged, Invader was inspired to develop “Wipe Out”, as a considered response to the systematic removal of art from the streets of Hong Kong. The show will restore Invader’s creative universe with alias1 pieces from his past invasions, alongside documentary photographs of the works in their original, intended public locations.
