Synopsis

Self-published by Invader, the pseudonymous artist, this book delves into the world of Rubikcubism, tracing the evolution of his work from its inception in 2004, through his meeting with Hungarian professor and Rubik’s Cube inventor Ernő Rubik in 2009, to his major 2022 exhibition at MIMA Museum, Brussels.

Featuring over 500 images, the book showcases Invader’s artworks, exhibition photography and exclusive archival material from his studio. It is enriched with insights from Invader himself, alongside essays by art critic Malika Bauwens and journalist Ian Scheffler, a Speedcuber and author of Cracking the Cube (2016). In his introduction, Invader reflects on how his fascination with the Rubik’s Cube began and how it has shaped his artistic practice.

With its beautifully printed pages, this book is a must-have for art collectors, Rubik’s Cube enthusiasts and Invader fans. Offering an in-depth look at Rubikcubism — an art form entirely conceived and developed by the artist — it provides an exclusive glimpse into his creative process and the connection between art and the world’s most famous puzzle.

About the Authors

The elusive street artist Invader uses his now ubiquitous pixelated characters to unpretentiously bring art to the masses. Self-described as an Unidentified Free Artist (UFA) whose identity is perennially hidden behind masks and digital pixelations, his pseudonym reflects his artistic practice — to invade (often illegally) international spaces with viral art. When he’s not travelling the world to ‘invade’ it with his pixelated mosaics, Invader exhibits his work in galleries and museums and makes books and objects.
