About the artwork

Invaded Hypnosis is a rare and visually striking woodcut by the acclaimed street artist Invader. The work merges the artist’s iconic pixelated Space Invaders motif with a reinterpretation of a classic Expressionist composition, creating an unexpected dialogue between digital culture and early 20th-century art history. Rendered in bold black-and-white woodcut technique, the piece features a crowd of stylized figures overlaid with rows of Invader’s signature pixel characters. The handmade quality of the woodcut contrasts powerfully with the digital aesthetic of the invaders, showcasing the artist’s versatility beyond urban installations and mosaic works. Published by Lazarides Gallery in London, this limited edition of 50, signed and dated, stands as one of Invader’s most conceptually rich print works.

Expert opinion

Invaded Hypnosis stands out in Invader’s print production due to its unusual use of woodcut, a technique rarely associated with the artist. This medium adds material depth and historical resonance, enhancing the contrast between the analog method and the digital aesthetic central to Invader’s practice. The edition size, only 50 copies plus 10 AP, makes this work significantly rarer than many of the artist’s screenprints and lithographs. Collectors value it not only for its scarcity but also for its strong conceptual framework referencing art history, a theme that consistently performs well in the Invader market. Works from this series have shown strong long-term stability and remain highly desirable for collectors seeking distinctive and early fine-art editions by the artist.

About the artist

Invader (b. 1969, France) is a leading figure in urban art. He is famous for his Space Invader-inspired mosaics, installed on the walls of over 80 cities worldwide. His work, both discreet and omnipresent, questions visual invasion, collective memory and urban cartography. His visual language, based on the pixel as a basic unit, evokes geek culture, street art and the decorative arts. He also creates limited-edition works, such as this silkscreen, which translate his universe into more intimate formats.
