Work Summary & Collector Notes
"Scooter" is a 2015 offset lithograph by Invader, published by HOCA on archival paper at 40 x 60 cm in a hand-signed, numbered edition of 88. The horizontal composition and lithographic process set it apart from the artist's square silkscreens, offering a wider pictorial field for his pixelated subject in the Hong Kong series.
Collector notes: Limited Edition of 88. Hand-signed and numbered by the artist.
Why It Matters
With 88 impressions, "Scooter" is a slightly more available HOCA edition, and its lithographic medium distinguishes it within Invader's largely screenprint-based catalogue. It documents the diversity of print processes the artist explored during his Hong Kong period, giving collectors a medium-specific reference point among the 2015 releases.
Collector Perspective
Buyers note the horizontal 40 x 60 cm format, unusual against Invader's typical squares, and the offset process, which lends flat, even colour. The edition of 88 is larger than the screenprints in the same series, so it tends to circulate more. Sharp registration, clean margins and an intact hand-signature are the details collectors examine on the sheet.
Historical Context
Invader's mid-2010s collaboration with HOCA generated a cluster of editions tied to his Hong Kong invasions. "Scooter" reflects that campaign while broadening the artist's technical range beyond silkscreen. The subject connects his pixel aesthetic, rooted in early arcade graphics, to everyday urban imagery of the kind he layered into his street mosaics.
