Half Little Big Space
Summary
Half Little Big Space is a 2019 companion to Little Big Space, sharing its three-color lithograph and embossing treatment and its debut at the District 13 Art Fair in Paris through Galerie Itinerrance. Issued in an edition of 100 at roughly 15.5 x 14 inches, it presents a cropped or partial variation on the parent composition.
Why It Matters
The existence of a paired full and half edition reflects Invader's interest in variation and modularity, echoing how his mosaics tile and repeat across urban space. For collectors, the two prints function as a natural set, and the embossed, three-color construction carries the same tactile quality that separates this series from his flat screenprints.
Collector Perspective
Collectors often pursue Half Little Big Space alongside its full counterpart to complete the pairing from the 2019 District 13 release. At an edition of 100, it shares the same limited run. Its embossed lithographic surface and Galerie Itinerrance provenance align it directly with the parent work in construction, origin, and display considerations.
Historical Context
Released at the same 2019 Paris art fair as Little Big Space, this print extends Invader's habit of producing related editions that reward collectors who track his full output. The cropped conceit connects to the artist's mosaic logic, where compositions are built from repeatable, sectionable units rather than single fixed images.

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.
