Meaning & Analysis
Aladdin Sane (silver) is a screenprint created in 2014 by the street artist Invader. This limited edition piece, one of 25, reimagines the iconic lightning bolt from David Bowie’s Aladdin Sane album cover, executed in Invader’s distinct pixelated style. It reflects the artist's ongoing exploration of the intersection between pop culture and retro gaming aesthetics.
This artwork features a pixelated ghost character, reminiscent of classic arcade games, adorned with the bold red and blue lightning bolt associated with David Bowie. The silkscreen printing technique enhances the graphic quality, making the imagery striking. Invader's homage to Bowie highlights the influence of cultural icons on his work, a recurring theme in his practice. Within the Aladdin Sane series, this print represents a playful yet insightful commentary on fame and identity in today’s digital age. The series includes various colour editions, showcasing Invader's ability to blend elements of nostalgia with contemporary themes, thus bridging high art and popular culture in a unique visual dialogue.
