____________________

Invader is the pseudonym of a French artist born in 1969 who has spent the past quarter century staging playful invasions of public space with ceramic mosaics inspired by 1978 arcade graphics. A graduate of the École des Beaux Arts in Paris, he moved from canvas experiments to durable bathroom tiles, cementing the first alien on a Paris wall in 1998 as a way to liberate pixel creatures from the television screen. Each miniature work is meticulously mapped to its surroundings, so a red ghost may hover above a neon bistro sign or a turquoise Space Invader may lurk beside a Baroque molding, turning the city into an open air gallery and passers by into unwitting players of his treasure hunt.

The project has grown to more than four thousand pieces across seventy nine cities, from Los Angeles to Kathmandu, and even to the International Space Station where astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti floated an alien mosaic 248 miles above Earth. Invader keeps score through an app called Flash Invaders that awards points for photographs of his works, encouraging fans to chase the hardest hidden tiles much like the original arcade challenge. Along the way he has expanded his practice into Rubikcubism sculptures made from solved cubes, large scale panels that fetch six figures at auction, and collaborations with fashion and design houses, all while maintaining anonymity behind a mask or pixelated blur. Whether installing a Hello Kitty in Tokyo, Spiderman on a Paris chimney, or planets outside the European Space Agency, Invader continues to transform urban surfaces into joyful reminders that art can hide in plain sight and that the city itself is the greatest game board of all.

____________________

Damien Hirst is a British artist whose name has become shorthand for audacious contemporary art. Born in Bristol in 1965, he grew up in Leeds and later studied at Goldsmiths, University of London, where he emerged as the leading figure of the Young British Artists movement in the late 1980s. Hirst first garnered attention with his installation “A Thousand Years,” featuring a rotting cow’s head and a life cycle of flies, setting the tone for a career that would continually probe the boundaries between life, death, beauty and commerce.

His most iconic works include the spot paintings, endless grids of brightly colored dots that question mechanical reproduction and artistic authorship, and the formaldehyde preserved sharks, sheep and calves that confront viewers with mortality in a clinical gallery setting. These pieces, often produced with the help of a large studio team, sparked debates about originality, the role of the artist and the commodification of art itself.

Hirst’s 2008 auction, “Beautiful Inside My Head Forever,” bypassed galleries and sold directly to the public, raising over £111 million and breaking records for a single-artist sale. Beyond the market, he has explored themes of belief, medicine and spirituality through installations like the diamond encrusted skull “For the Love of God,” and the monumental Venice exhibition “Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable,” which presented fabricated artifacts as if salvaged from an ancient shipwreck.

Despite critical divides, Hirst remains a cultural force, expanding into restaurants, NFTs and philanthropy while continuing to examine what it means to create, collect and confront the inevitable end.

Some very cool pieces coming out of the Triple Trouble show the Newport Street Gallery

Spanning painting, sculpture, installation, and mosaic, the exhibition will explore the intersections of contemporary art, street culture, and pop iconography. Fairey, Hirst, and Invader have combined forces to create a series of hybrid works that defy categorisation while amplifying their shared fascination with repetition, symbols, and cultural icons.

This ambitious exhibition, which spans all six gallery spaces at Newport Street Gallery, celebrates both the individuality of each artist and the synergy that emerges when their practices collide. Visitors will encounter familiar motifs Fairey’s OBEY iconography, Hirst’s spots and cabinets, Invader’s space mosaics reconfigured in provocative and playful ways that challenge the boundaries between fine art and street culture.
