Published to accompany Wipe Out, Invader’s landmark 2015 exhibition at the HOCA Foundation in Hong Kong, Explosion distils the artist’s visual language into a single moment of pixelated impact. Rendered in his unmistakable 8-bit aesthetic, the composition recalls the explosive effects of early arcade games while celebrating the transition of his work from the street into the gallery.

The print reflects Invader’s enduring fascination with digital culture, where individual coloured squares become a universal visual language. What first appears as a simple graphic motif reveals the precision and complexity that define the artist’s practice, blurring the boundaries between video games, public intervention and contemporary printmaking. Published in a signed edition of 50, Explosion has become one of the most sought-after prints associated with the artist’s Hong Kong exhibition.
