Discovery of Works by Invader Prompts New Exhibition

At Galerie Le Feuvre in Paris, works by Invader are presented in a new show called “Masterpieces.” Invader is the enigmatic street artist known for crafting square ceramic tiles into images that resemble digital, pixelated renderings throughout the past few decades. The gallery says that the show was triggered by “discovery of works dated from 1997.” The artist was featured way back in Hi-Fructose Magazine Vol. 2.

At Galerie Le Feuvre in Paris, works by Invader are presented in a new show called “Masterpieces.” Invader is the enigmatic street artist known for crafting square ceramic tiles into images that resemble digital, pixelated renderings throughout the past few decades. The gallery says that the show was triggered by “discovery of works dated from 1997.” The artist was featured way back in Hi-Fructose Magazine Vol. 2.

The gallery has its own history with the artist, having represented his work between 2010 and 2015 in France. “The earthling Invader began his invasion in 1998,” they say. “The Louvre, the Hollywood hill, the walls of Paris, Montpellier (with fellow artist Zevs), and in random order, Aix-enProvence, Frankfurt, London, Miami, Hong Kong, Rome, New York, Los Angeles and Vienna, the underwater depths of the Bay of Cancun and outer space with the International Space Station. Twenty years on, he has affixed more than 3,000 mosaics worldwide in nearly 70 cities.”

In addition to the new works unearthed, the gallery chose other pieces created between 2013 and 2014. Pieces like “Say Hello to My Little Friend” show that the artist’s love of pop culture goes past 1980s video games, rendering Al Pacino’s Scarface using Rubik’s Cube blocks.

Whether working in the streets or in the studio, Russian artist Morik paints Cubist-inspired scenes filled with fractured, kaleidoscopic arrangements of color. In his recent mixed-media canvases, he utilized a combination of spray paint, acrylic, and watercolor pencil to create street scenes filled with early 20th-century nostalgia. While his studio work evokes Russian social realism, his recent street art in Miami, Poland, and Germany has been decidedly more surreal. Take a look at his recent works below.
Tennessee native Richard W. James uses ceramics and found objects to create surreal figures and scenes. Using earthenware, fabrics, and underglaze, he forges these characters from materials he associated with his youth. The artist says that in doing this, he “explores the discrepancy between how we, as humans, see ourselves and how we would like others to see us.”
Since 2005, Australian artist Buff Diss has been adorning city sidewalks, trains, and industrial buildings through his unconventional use of tape - expanding upon the more traditional forms associated with street art. His body of work incorporates a variety of styles and subject material, from contour drawing and geometric shapes to intricate portraits of mythological figures. Despite the impermanent nature of the chosen medium, the artwork itself leaves a lasting impression on those who are fortunate to see it.
Last Friday, Soze Gallery in Los Angeles debuted “Paper Teller”, new works by Italian street artist Moneyless (featured here). Moneyless is an artist who, as he describes it, “speaks through geometry.” His education in mathematics is a clear influence on his new work, but this is a twist on forms he’s been observing for several years. The circle artworks are new, blending concepts of math and science with the colors of 1970s art. Read more after the jump.
