Invader's Camo Pink & Yellow Medium M-2C-M1 Silkscreen Print
The Camo Pink & Yellow Medium M-2C-M1 silkscreen print by Invader stands as a bold example of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork that fuses digital nostalgia with contemporary fine art aesthetics. Released in 2024 as a signed and numbered limited edition of 100, this artwork draws upon the French artist's long-standing fascination with retro gaming, pixel art, and guerilla installation tactics. Printed on premium Somerset Satin Cotton Fine Art Paper using hand-pulled silkscreen methods, this edition measures 28.35 by 24.02 inches, offering collectors a vibrant and highly stylized composition.
The Visual Power of Color and Pixelation
Rendered in clashing neon pink and acid yellow, the M-2C-M1 silkscreen print distills the iconography of Invader's global Space Invaders project into a camouflaged digital tapestry. At first glance, the composition may seem like a disordered array of pixel blocks, but deeper inspection reveals the signature forms of an 8-bit alien buried in the chaos. The colors are deliberately chosen for visual dissonance, creating a pulsating optical experience that references both camouflage patterning and screen glitch aesthetics. This duality plays into Invader's ongoing commentary on visibility, surveillance, and anonymity—core themes in his urban art interventions.
Conceptual Layering and Street Art Foundations
As a pioneer of global street interventions, Invader—born in France as Franck Slama—has embedded thousands of mosaic Space Invaders in cities worldwide since the 1990s. While these works often exist at street level and are subject to weathering or removal, prints like the Camo Pink & Yellow Medium M-2C-M1 allow for permanence and museum-level preservation. Yet the silkscreen medium preserves the DIY ethos of the artist’s original practice. The geometry in this piece evokes his analog mosaic approach while emphasizing the systematic repetition and coding that define much of his digital-meets-physical output. The artwork's coding-style title M-2C-M1 hints at his classification system for organizing and archiving his global installations, adding an archival dimension to its aesthetic experience.
Position Within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
Invader’s work, including this print, occupies a definitive place within the evolution of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. He merges the mischievous transience of graffiti with the pixel-perfect precision of digital design. Unlike traditional graffiti rooted in letters and tags, Invader introduces game culture and technological critique into the street narrative. By abstracting his alien into camouflage and glitch formats, he blurs lines between resistance and assimilation—an aesthetic metaphor for how subversive art can both infiltrate and adapt to institutional spaces. The result is not just a collectible silkscreen, but a dynamic statement on modern visual culture, surveillance, and the role of play in public space. This edition offers not only a snapshot of Invader's continued evolution as a contemporary artist but also a rare opportunity for collectors to engage with a piece that translates the energy of street placement into a refined, tactile artifact.
