The Collection
BAB_09
BAB_09 is the first mosaic installed in Anglet, specifically at Marinella Beach, depicting an orange Invader surfing waves on a striped red surfboard.
BAB_10
Located at the Mairie d'Anglet, the town hall of Anglet, the pine green Invader BAB_10 is placed on top of the doorstep of a building separate from the town hall. However, this mosaic was removed by officials after 2 days of it being installed.
BAB_11
Returning to Biarritz, BAB_11 is a beige Invader installed on the Gare du Midi, an art and leisure center that was once a French railway station. Invader cleverly camouflages this mosaic into its surroundings, so passersby will have to squint to get a good look at the mosaic.
BAB_12
BAB_12 is a rectangular-shaped, coffee-brown colored mosaic with rounded corners and a pale Invader within the rectangle. The mosaic is placed on a concrete wall in Villa Belza, a lodging next to the coast.
BAB_13
Located in another French city, Ciboure, more than 20km from Biarritz, BAB_13 references from the pixel profile of the Pokémon, Omanyte.
BAB_14
Back to Biarritiz, BAB_14 depicts a sunset pattern the artist often uses with a monochrome Invader in front of the shore. It is located right above the Basque Coast Beach.
