A street art Rubik’s Cube version of the “Mona Lisa” is expected to sell for up to 150,000 euros ($166,000) when it goes under the hammer in Paris this month.

 

The “Rubik Mona Lisa” as it is called, was made from 330 Rubik’s Cubes by the French artist Invader. He became famous for his ceramic Space Invaders figures inspired by the vintage pixelated video game.

 

It is the first of a series of works in which the artist recreated some of the great paintings of art history in Rubik’s Cubes.

Franck Slama, known as Invader, claimed that the foundational creations of a new art movement called “Rubikcubism”. He has glued Space Invaders works to walls in more than 33 countries. Invader even inspired smartphone applications for fans trying to track them down.

Invader made “Rubik Mona Lisa” in 2005. He has since gone on to recreate Edouard Manet’s Impressionist masterpiece “Le Dejeuner sur l’Herbe” (“Luncheon on the Grass”) as well as Gustave Courbet’s ever-controversial “The Origin of the World” in Rubik’s Cubes.

 

The cube was a cult children’s puzzle in the 1980s. Hungarian sculptor Emo Rubik invented it as a teaching tool to explain three-dimensional forms to his architecture students.

 

A blockbuster Leonardo da Vinci show at the Louvre museum in Paris, which holds the “Mona Lisa”, finishes at the end of this month.
