CLR_05, Street art mosaic in Clermont-Ferrand, France
CLR_05 is a tile mosaic by the street artist Invader, mounted on a building wall in Clermont-Ferrand, France. The piece depicts a pixelated creature built from small colored tiles arranged in a blocky, grid-like pattern typical of the artist's style.
Invader launched his global mosaic project in Paris in the late 1990s, gradually spreading his pixelated figures across cities around the world. Clermont-Ferrand received its first pieces in 2001, with more added over the following years, particularly around 2016.
Invader's mosaics have turned parts of Clermont-Ferrand into an open-air game, and CLR_05 is one of the stops on that informal route. Visitors can scan each piece using the Flashinvaders app to score points, making the search feel like a city-wide treasure hunt.
CLR_05 is mounted at street level on a building wall in central Clermont-Ferrand, making it easy to spot on foot. Visiting during daylight hours gives the best view of the tile colors, and the area is straightforward to walk through without any special equipment.
CLR_05 is listed as a former entity, meaning the mosaic has at some point been damaged or removed from its original wall. Among collectors who track Invader's work worldwide, lost pieces like this one are carefully documented and discussed.
