Space Invader or Invader, known for its mosaic tiles, Invader not only stays active on the streets, but also creates a series of studio works "Rubikcubism". The artist coined the term Rubikcubism in 2005, using the nostalgic game magic cubes which was popular in the 1970s to create. The artist often painstakingly tuning the magic cubes to suitable color positions in order to piecing together the image in his mind, then gluing the cubes to the backboard to construct the piece. The final work is like a mosaic of pixels, the viewer can only see the subject image when squinting or looking from a distance.



Rubik Three Imaginary Boys is part of the "Rubikcubism" series, in which the artist recreates a series of legendary album covers from rock stars, including The Velvet Underground, David Bowie, and The Cure. "Three Imaginary Boys" is the debut album of the 1980s British new wave super rock band The Cure, the members began to release their songs in the late 1970s. Their early singles are considered to be part of the punk rock revolution that followed the punk and new wave movements in the UK. The Cure carried such an aggressive momentum and vigorous vitality as a newborn calf so fearless in their album, quite the opposite with the British pop genre at that time, but would later become the prototype of the band's popular gothic electronic rock style. Invader is fascinated by the pop culture in the 1970s and 1980s, and this work definitely displays the integration of music, games and art in different aesthetic categories of the entertainment industry in the 1980s. It is nevertheless still avant-garde, retro and appealing today.
