Work Summary & Collector Notes

Warning Invader (Silver) is a 2012 screenprint from Pictures On Walls, issued in an edition of 50 at 54 x 54 cm. It features an embossed 'Invader' element and a silver-grey palette, presenting the artist's alien motif in the visual language of a hazard or warning sign.

Collector notes: Legacy catalog record: 50. Screenprint with embossed 'Invader'.

Why It Matters

The warning-sign framing is pointedly self-aware: Invader casts his own invasion as an approaching threat, playing on the public-signage aesthetic that his street mosaics already mimic. The square format and embossed signature push a graphic, almost institutional look, wittily formalizing the idea of a city under invasion.

Collector Perspective

With only 50 copies, this is one of the tighter Invader POW editions. The metallic silver-grey and embossing give it presence but also demand careful condition scrutiny, as metallic inks show scuffing readily. Its bold square format frames well and appeals to collectors seeking a graphic, sign-like statement piece.

Historical Context

Produced in 2012 by Pictures On Walls, Warning Invader arrived during Invader's prolific early-2010s print run. The warning-sign concept connects to the broader street-art tradition of appropriating public signage, a lineage POW artists frequently mined, and here fuses that with Invader's signature pixel alien.
