After the previous streak of invading Biarritz, Invader continues the Invasion of Basque in all three major cities, including Bayonne, Anglet, and Biarritz. This time, we will cover BAB_43 to BAB_51.

The Collection


BAB_43

In Bayonne, BAB_43 depicts an Invader with a unique half-light-blue half-white body with a black outline, possibly referencing the color scheme of the mural across the street.

BAB_44

Mosaic BAB_44. placed at the Mousserolles Gate, depicts the coat of arms of Bayonne, including 2 beasts in front of trees holding onto the tower in the middle. Invader added his own twist to the coat of arms by adding the text “NVDR” on the top, which is short of the artist's name.

Back to Biarritz, placed above the street sign of Rue de Coursic, BAB_45 depicts a white Invader with a red outline standing to the right of a filled wine glass with a lemon on top and a Topa wine, a product of the Basque Country by Rezebal.

BAB_48

Next to the Avenue de Moulyn road sign, the red Invader, BAB_48 is similar to the previous mosaic in a way that it depicts an Invader running while leaving a small trail behind him.

BAB_49

Located in Anglet, the red Invader BAB_49 follows the trend of BAB_48 and seems to be a series along with it, both in a similar color scheme and running around the entire Basque country.
