Secret from the Deep

2025

This striking three dimensional sculpture by the French street artist Invader presents his iconic pixelated alien motif suspended within a teal formaldehyde style perspex tank, directly referencing Damien Hirst's celebrated vitrine format. The dark pixel blocks are assembled to evoke the classic Space Invaders arcade game character rendered in physical sculptural depth, creating a compelling dialogue between digital culture and fine art sculpture. The work merges Invader's signature pixel iconography with a high art institutional presentation, making it a coveted piece for collectors at the intersection of street art and contemporary sculpture. The vitrine format elevates the playful pop cultural reference into a museum quality object of significant conceptual weight.

Notes

Work photographed in a gallery or museum setting. The teal perspex vitrine and white plinth base are characteristic of Invader's 3D sculpture series. A dot matrix or spot painting style panel is visible on the rear interior wall of the vitrine, possibly referencing Hirst's spot paintings as an additional art historical citation.
