Space Invader (French, 1969) KUNG FU , 2015 Screenprint on paper Signed an dated in pencil lower right "Invader 2015" Numbered in pencil lower left "25/50" 21 3/5 by 21 3/5 inches Ditching spray paint for tile and grout, Space Invader is known internationally for his pixelated aesthetic, with his figures gracing the facades of buildings in major cities across the globe. In 2000, Invader made his foray into the world of contemporary art—creating and exhibiting his pieces to sell in traditional brick and mortar galleries. Invader’s pixelated version of karate master Bruce Lee became particularly popular in Hong Kong, where Invader re-imagined the city as a video game repeating his tribute to kung fu fighters throughout the city using three different images titled Hong Kong Phooey, Kung Fu Fighter, and the present Bruce Lee. $1,000-1,500 Categories: SPACE INVADER
