Last Saturday, StreetLevel attended the opening of "Top 10," a solo exhibition of the work of Parisian mosaic/street artist Invader at New York City's Jonathan LeVine Gallery. Known for putting up his pixelated pieces on the streets of cities all over the globe, Invader "invades" public spaces with his art -- using ceramic mosaic tiles and Rubik's Cubes as his medium.

Along with his signature takes on 8-bit video game characters, like those of Atari's 1978 classic "Space Invaders," the show features Invader's take on the top 10 album covers of his generation including Nirvana's "Nevermind," The Clash's "London Calling," The Cure's "Three Imaginary Boys" and others.

Read more and see pics from the show plus a dope preview trailer after the jump.



Those who attended the event were treated to live performance art by the man himself. We look forward to more creative terrorism from Invader, but first we have a question for the man: Where did get your kicks made, and how can we cop a pair?
