Meaning & Analysis

Camel is a screen print in colours executed by the French street artist Invader in 2015 and was released in an edition of 100. The image depicts the front of a Camel packet of cigarettes in the artist’s signature pixelated, low-resolution style.

The squares comprising the image mimic the low-resolution of the computer programs Invader played during his youth in the 1980s, each square denoting a pixel on a screen. Invader has recreated other cigarette package branding in this way, see Marlboro, and despite the extent of obscurity to the image, the branding remains recognisable.

Invader initially rose to fame following his street art gaining recognition across Paris. By gratifying his Space Invader characters onto buildings, Invader would ‘invade’ cities with them, gaining a cult-like following the more he tagged buildings with these images.

Anonymous street artist Invader adopted his pseudonym from the 1978 arcade game, Space Invaders, and has continually paid homage to retro, 8-bit video games throughout his career. His work has evolved from the original Space Invader motif since the early 2000s, with other icons such as Pac-Man, Pink Panther and even the Rubik’s Cube becoming staples in his imagery. Invading urban landscapes with his distinctive pixelated mosaic creations, Invader transcends the boundaries of traditional street art by combining playful nostalgia with an urban twist. His unique fusion of retro aesthetics and contemporary commentary has solidified his place in the global art scene.

I reached out in order to get an appraisal for my Banksy print and within a day they provided me with an estimate that I can use to insure it. Special thanks to Celine and Leah.

This was my first time using MyArtBroker. I had a print I wanted to sell and went on their website to register my interest.

When you have valuable artwork to sell, approaching the "art world" market as a novice can be quite intimidating. My Art Broker made the whole process easy and seamless. They are knowledgeable, transparent and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend them.
