Work Summary & Collector Notes
Home (Lego White) , 2010, is a screen print published by Pictures On Walls in an edition of 25, measuring 42 x 29.5 cm. The artstock is embossed with a relief tile pattern and printed in foil inks, giving the sheet a reflective, ceramic-like surface that mimics Invader's real mosaics.
Collector notes: Legacy catalog record: 25. The artstock paper is embossed with a relief tile pattern and then printed with foil inks for a reflective quality.
Why It Matters
Here Invader translates the physical texture of his street mosaics onto paper. The embossed relief and metallic foil are engineered so the print reads almost like glazed tile, a rare attempt to capture the tactile charm of his craft in a flat, editioned format rather than a smooth reproduction.
Collector Perspective
An edition of just 25 through Pictures On Walls makes this one of the scarcer Invader screen prints of its year. The foil-and-emboss finish is delicate, so pristine, undamaged examples are prized. POW's noted caveat that returns did not cover the piece signals its fragile, hands-on production values.
Historical Context
Pictures On Walls, the London print house associated with the urban-art wave of the 2000s, released several Invader editions. Home (Lego White) reflects that period's appetite for prints that reproduce not just the image but the material feel of street work, using embossing and foil to evoke ceramic.
