One of the highlights of London’s street art scene during 2025, was when Invader made two visits to London in the latter half of the year. The works below mark the 20th time Invader has landed in London. Known for his pixelated mosaics’ creations, predominantly Space Invaders, made from differing sized and coloured tiles, his mosaics are certainly in a style of its own and over time he has gone on to become one of the most original and iconic Street Artists the world over.

Invader is a French artist who defines himself as a ‘UFA’, an ‘Unidentified Free Artist’. Under this guise Invader has since 1998 developed a large scale project, code name: Space Invaders. The primary purpose of the project is about liberating Art from its usual alienators in the form of institutions such as galleries and museums. Secondly it is about freeing the Space Invaders from their video game TV screens and to bring them into our physical world. With each work publicly placed, referred to as an ‘Invasion’, each of these unique pieces set to become a fragment of a monumental installation. The Space Invader basis of his works were chosen as they are the “perfect icons of our time, a time where digital technologies are the heartbeat of our world.”

On his this Invasion, London was left with some 4 fresh mosaics and inclusion in one painting – including two collaborations with fellow street artist Obey. We have long been fans of Invader’s output and it was an absolute pleasure to cycle all around London to go and see his latest creations and see how well he has created excellent designs for locations on which these new works now reside.
