Camo M (3C-M1)
Summary
Camo M (3C-M1) (2024) is the medium format of Invader's Camo series from HENI, framed at 61 x 72 cm in an edition of 100 plus 10 artist's proofs. Larger than its small counterpart, it overlays military camouflage on Invader's pixelated alien motif at a more assertive scale.
Why It Matters
At half the run of the small format, the medium Camo is scarcer within the series, and its larger dimensions give the camouflage-versus-mosaic concept more room to read. It rewards collectors who want the Camo idea at a size that carries a wall on its own.
Collector Perspective
The edition of 100 plus 10 APs makes this the tighter of the two Camo formats, a point serious collectors weigh when choosing between them. Pairing the M with the S format completes a size-set within one colourway. Confirm the pattern code and the 61 x 72 cm framed dimensions.
Historical Context
Released in 2024 through HENI Editions, Camo M sits alongside the small format in a coordinated series. Invader's practice has always played on the visual grammar of gaming and code; folding camouflage into that grammar extends the artist's recurring meditation on hiding, seeing, and being seen in the built environment.

About the Artist
Invader (born 1969, France) is a pseudonymous French urban artist known for installing mosaic works inspired by 1970s-80s arcade video games, most famously the aliens from Space Invaders. Since the late 1990s he has "invaded" cities worldwide, cementing tile mosaics onto walls and mapping each installation as part of a global game. His studio output extends the pixel aesthetic into prints, "Rubikcubism" works made from Rubik's Cubes, aluminum pieces, and alias-signed editions. He remains anonymous, appearing publicly only masked.
Collecting Invader at Gauntlet Gallery
What Invader works can I collect?
Beyond street mosaics, Invader releases signed, numbered editions — screenprints, giclées, aluminum and Rubikcubism works — plus his "Invasion Kits." Signed and numbered studio editions are the collectible core. Gauntlet Gallery focuses on complete, well-preserved impressions with documentation.
How is an Invader piece authenticated?
We sell Invader works with documented provenance and the edition's signature and numbering. Each piece is photographed exactly as it ships, including signature and edition details, so you can verify before buying.
What drives value?
Medium (unique Rubikcubism and aluminum works over open prints), edition size, iconic imagery, condition, and provenance all shape price. Hand-made and low-numbered pieces command the strongest premiums.
