French artist SPACE INVADER finally brought his 8-bit style street art indoors when his first solo show in London, “Space Invasion & Bad Men Part II” opened at the tastemaking LAZARIDES GALLERY last Friday. Divided into two halves, the first part, “London Invasion,” documents the artist’s extensive street work in Fogtown through a series of photographs chronicling 100 individual applications of his iconic ceramic tile appliqués on city walls and monuments.
