Daft Punk
2023
This monumental public artwork by the French street artist Invader depicts the iconic electronic music duo Daft Punk rendered in the artist's signature 8 bit pixel mosaic style. The two life size figures stand side by side, one wearing a gold helmet and one a silver helmet, each dressed in black suits and accompanied by two smaller pixelated sprite creatures floating above them. Installed on the exterior facade of the Philharmonie de Paris, the piece celebrates the legendary French electronic music group and exemplifies Invader's long running practice of placing ceramic tile mosaics in urban environments worldwide. The scale of the work, emphasized by a figure standing beside it, underscores its commanding presence as a major example of large format public street art.

Shepard Fairey
American · b. 1970

Fairey similarly uses bold graphic imagery and repetitive iconography deployed across urban surfaces worldwide as a form of visual occupation of public space. Both artists treat the city as a canvas for systematic, recognizable interventions rooted in pop culture.

JR
French · b. 1983

JR is a fellow French street artist who conducts large scale unauthorized interventions across cities on every continent, echoing Invader's concept of systematically cataloguing and mapping his own urban installations. Both treat street art as a global project with documentary and conceptual dimensions.

Banksy
British · b. 1974

Banksy shares Invader's commitment to anonymous urban intervention using a distinctive repeatable style that blends humor, pop culture references, and subversive placement in public spaces worldwide. Both artists have also successfully bridged the street art and fine art gallery worlds.
