Description
Published by Invader himself, this 440-page book with a soft matte-cover delves into the world of Rubikcubism, tracing the evolution of the artist's work from its inception in 2004, through his meeting with Hungarian professor and Rubik's Cube inventor Erno Rubik in 2009, to the major Invader Rubikcubist exhibition at Mima Museum, Brussels, in 2022. Featuring over 500 images, the book includes Invader's artworks, exhibition photography and exclusive archival content from his studio.
Rubikcubist is enriched with insightful texts and quotes from the artist, along with essays from art critic Malika Bauwens and journalist Ian Scheffler, a Speedcuber and the author of Cracking the Cube (2016). In his introduction, Invader explores how his fascination with the Rubik's Cube began and the impact it had on his artistic practice.
With its beautifully printed pages, this book is a must-have for art collectors, Rubik's Cube enthusiasts and Invader fans alike. It provides an in-depth look at Rubikcubism, a style entirely conceived and led by the iconic pseudonymous artist, offering readers a unique glimpse into the creative process and the connection between art and the legendary puzzle, invented in 1974.
About the Author
The elusive street artist Invader uses his now ubiquitous pixelated characters to unpretentiously bring art to the masses. Self-described as an Unidentified Free Artist (UFA) whose identity is perennially hidden behind masks and digital pixelations, his pseudonym reflects his artistic practice - to invade (often illegally) international spaces with viral art. When he's not travelling the world to 'invade' it with his pixelated mosaics, Invader exhibits his work in galleries and museums and makes books and objects.
