Invader - Has he lost it?, by Shoot Again on Nov 9, 2017 14:15:52 GMT 1, I would respectfully disagree - he has not 'lost it'. What continues to amaze me is his output, he is constantly hitting up the streets (illegally) unlike a lot of other big name artists who have gone down the sanctioned mural route. There is no slowing down, even as he is getting older and has more to risk. His art was never social or political, and never will be. His concept was to 'invade' cities. Just think about what he has achieved - walk around Paris and you will be amazed at the sheer scale and number of his invasions. From Paris to LA, London to Kathmandu, Hong Kong to space itself! Invader uses tiles instead of spray paint - that his medium. And he has bombed the sh!t out of cities and shows no sign of slowing. If Invader was a graffiti artist - he would be a king. He deserves the plaudits and success. The work may look decorative - but it is the concept of 'invading' cities, and than having the audacity to do it on such a large and illegal scale that is impressive. He makes cities his playground, and is a street art legend. I wish more of the big names from way back were still as active as him.

Invader - Has he lost it?, by denada on Nov 9, 2017 14:27:55 GMT 1, I tend to think that ‘invasion’ angle is as authentic as it can be when he was starting out, and even as recent as 2-3 years back. But as someone pointed out earlier, he has started caving to the market himself by pricing his latest works high. His work was never meant to be on paper, or even on anything one can hang inside his or her home, if his intention is to invade the streets all over the world. And he’s making good money out of this now. For other artists, it might still convince me that he needs to price himself to the market. But based on his grander scheme of invading the world all over from day one and his original intention of letting the mass public see his work through this invasion, I think its’s clearly a tough job to tell me he hasn’t exactly commercialised his works and lost the it factor completely.
He's paid his dues. He's been hitting the streets for nearly 2 decades. What's wrong with making some money?
It maybe a romantic notion that there are still 'starving artists' who only create for the love of their craft - but in reality there are a lot of artists who want to be build something and be remembered. And there is nothing wrong with that. Why should Invader be any different from Kaws or Faile etc?
He's working his way up the food chain, and at least he has the history and authenticity to go along with the big prices.
I have no problem with him raising his primary prices - he's earned it, unlike some fly-by-night artists who come out of nowhere and tend to disappear as quickly as their meteoric rise.
Some people say his market has been 'manipulated', I would say that it is a fair adjustment. He's one of the 'big boys' of this genre, and now his prices are reflecting that.
And the art world is rampant with market manipulation (it's part of the game).
I don't know if his market is being manilpulated, but there seems to be enough appetite for pieces to sell at record prices. You just have to look at the book cover that sold at Tajan for 46,000 euros the other day to see it.

There’s nothing wrong with making money for any artist, but for this particular artist, it goes against the very concept of his invasion of cities through works on the street - which is the very one people are praising for - versus selling collectibles into the homes of a relative few who could afford it. I can understand his works appeal to many people, but the very moment he sells limited ed at 1200€ a pop, whatever high concept he has has fallen through into the drain imo.
In case you think I’m a hater. I do enjoy looking out for his works on the streets whenever I travel. That’s where it should be, and how his works are to be appreciated. Be objective.

That’s where one becomes part of this overhyped equation. Fuelling it up...

If you think his pieces are too expensive to own, then just enjoy them on the street! Or if you want something tangible then make your own.
Funnily enough, Invader hit up my house the other week

That specific book cover was Invader's 1st ever book cover, from his 1st Invasion in paris, so rightfully warrants a premium ... |

Invader - Has he lost it?, by dundun on Nov 9, 2017 20:25:13 GMT 1, He's one of the only "working" street artist and if anything he's more relevant now because of the increased police scrutiny on graffiti artists. It's amazing how he keeps finding fresh material as he seems the 8-bit well is endless for him. He's also one of the best follows on Insta as he shows off his fresh pieces in almost real-time.

Invader - Has he lost it?, by met on Nov 11, 2017 20:21:59 GMT 1, You should sell that LED print to someone who will appreciate it. A real Invader fan. You and SG123 (who's first post is commenting on your thread. probably same person) should stop being butt pirates.
Language and its ongoing evolution has always fascinated me. Especially the variations that exist between different generations, geographical regions and peer groups.
I actually had to Google "butt pirates" because I didn't know what this meant:
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/butt_pirate
When I was younger, the derogatory expression used by some to refer to gay men was "fags" or "faggots". Reading about "butt pirates" for the first time here was therefore instructive. Posts like yours keep me up-to-speed with the latest terminology meant to isolate and dehumanise those falling within minority groups.
This is one reason I always make a conscious effort to seek out news and hear ideas from diverse sources, including the likes of MailOnline and Stormfront.org. It increases my awareness, allowing me to better understand alternative viewpoints, beliefs and socio-cultural norms — whether they be innocuous, or regressive and deserving to be challenged.
Thinking back again to my youth, individuals who used words like "faggot" were, not always but pretty often, the same ones who'd refer to black people as "niggers", East Asians as "chinks", Jews as "kikes", and so on.
Are there any new slurs I should also be aware of to describe these other groups?

Invader - Has he lost it?, by met on Nov 11, 2017 20:26:11 GMT 1, I would respectfully disagree - he has not 'lost it'. What continues to amaze me is his output, he is constantly hitting up the streets (illegally) unlike a lot of other big name artists who have gone down the sanctioned mural route. There is no slowing down, even as he is getting older and has more to risk. His art was never social or political, and never will be. His concept was to 'invade' cities. Just think about what he has achieved - walk around Paris and you will be amazed at the sheer scale and number of his invasions. From Paris to LA, London to Kathmandu, Hong Kong to space itself! Invader uses tiles instead of spray paint - that his medium. And he has bombed the sh!t out of cities and shows no sign of slowing. If Invader was a graffiti artist - he would be a king. He deserves the plaudits and success. The work may look decorative - but it is the concept of 'invading' cities, and than having the audacity to do it on such a large and illegal scale that is impressive. He makes cities his playground, and is a street art legend. I wish more of the big names from way back were still as active as him. Spot on. Whether or not you « like » his output, this is an objective analysis of his raison d’être as an Artist. I would add the idea of flash invaders, which is an incredible concept to get people to interact with your art and participate in it.
Good follow-up to a strong post by denada.
When considered as a whole, this thread has been interesting and insightful.

I actually had to Google "butt pirates" because I didn't know what this meant: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/butt_pirateWhen I was younger, the derogatory expression used by some to refer to gay men was "fags" or "faggots". Reading about "butt pirates" for the first time here was therefore instructive. Posts like yours keep me up-to-speed with the latest terminology meant to isolate and dehumanise those falling within minority groups. This is one reason I always make a conscious effort to seek out news and hear ideas from diverse sources, including the likes of MailOnline and Stormfront.org. It increases my awareness, allowing me to better understand alternative viewpoints, beliefs and socio-cultural norms — whether they be innocuous, or regressive and deserving to be challenged. Thinking back again to my youth, individuals who used words like "faggot" were, not always but pretty often, the same ones who'd refer to black people as "niggers", East Asians as "chinks", Jews as "kikes", and so on. Are there any new slurs I should also be aware of to describe these other groups? what about visual language MET. What message is your avatar promoting? |

Invader - Has he lost it?, by moron on Nov 15, 2017 16:27:34 GMT 1, He's a one trick pony imo. Quite like that evolution piece though.
Invader made a career out of those mosaique tiled invaders. Where he comes across as BS to me is where he took the invader idea originally to slap invaders on walls, made frm tiles then decided that he was going to make pretty pictures of cartoon caracters from tiles and sell those too. That transition desn't work for me. There again there are a lot of very well promoted one trick ponies in the art world with money behind them.
He's a one trick pony imo. Quite like that evolution piece though. I agree, it's just a gimmick. When Space Invaders electronic games came out, they were all the rage and it's in that Era that influenced invader to slap some invaders on walls which was clever and a bit of fun. Feckner did it too I think before invader with a different message behind it. Invader made a career out of those mosaique tiled invaders.

I'm with you on that, but can still see the appeal. When he turns 16 bit I'm a seller
