Why It Matters
The albino motif recurs across Invader's work, tying this print to a distinct thread running through his output including early Invasion Kits. As a square, single-icon composition, it presents the foundational Space Invader form in one of its most direct and iconic paper expressions.
Collector Perspective
With an edition of 100 and unsigned status, the print offers a recognizable core-motif work at the more accessible end of the collectible spectrum. Its clean square format and reduced palette make condition and even printing especially visible, so well-preserved impressions stand out.
Historical Context
The 'albino' concept predates 2006 in Invader's practice, appearing in his earliest Invasion Kit from 2000. This Pictures On Walls screen print carries that lineage onto paper, connecting the artist's studio-print output to his longer-running mosaic and kit vocabulary.
