PA_1553, Mosaic from the Triple Trouble collection in Paris
This mosaic by the artist Invader features eight pixelated invaders rendered in different colors within a frame and is part of the 'Triple Trouble' collection created through collaboration with Damien Hirst and Shepard Fairey. The work sits above a storefront at the intersection of Rue de Ours and Rue Quincampoix, making it visible to passersby at street level.
This work was created as part of a special collaboration between French street artist Invader and two internationally known artists from different creative fields. The project represented a moment when street art gained recognition from the established art world.
The mosaic is easy to locate as it sits at a corner where two streets intersect, making it visible from multiple angles. The work is best viewed during daylight hours when natural light brings out the colors of the small tiles clearly.
Invader is among the first street artists to partner with major names in the contemporary art world while maintaining anonymity as a creator. This collaboration demonstrates how street art has blurred the lines between public space and the gallery world.
