WHAT IS A SPACE INVADER?

A Space Invader is a small mosaic by the artist Franck Slama on street corners of more than 70 cities around the world.

Franck Slama is a street artist and mosaicist.He was born in 1969 in France and trained at the Beaux-Arts in Paris.

He began installing his small, unique works - illegally - in 1996. There are about 1,430 of them in Paris and more than 3,700 worldwide. They are called "small urban viruses"..

These mosaic collages represent fictional characters (Spiderman, Mario Kart...), cartoon characters (Smurfs...) or real characters (Picasso, Serge Gainsbourg, ), animals, funny objects or everyday objects. A little monster is Frank Slama's signature and we find him on many Invaders. He continues to stick them all over the world. It is a street art that differs by the material used (small mosaics of color or black and white).

The place chosen by the artist is not necessarily related to the theme of Space Invaders, even if we find for example Dr House next to the hospital of Pitié Salpêtrière or a small Pablo Picasso not far from the Picasso museum (in the Marais).

Other artists, pseudo-artists or budding artists have been inspired by Franck Slama.
