Invader x HENI: A Celebration of Camouflage and Mosaic Mastery
HENI and Invader, the enigmatic street artist famed for his pixelated mosaics, unveil two new collections that intertwine street art with contemporary fine art. The release includes the Camouflage screenprint series, alongside Alias and Pixel Pieces ceramic mosaic works, now available on HENI Editions and HENI Primary, respectively.
The Camouflage Series: Art in Disguise
Invader’s Camouflage series includes 21 unique screenprint editions, showcasing his iconic Space Invader figure cleverly embedded within intricate camouflage patterns. These works explore the theme of visibility and concealment, blending digital aesthetics with natural motifs.
Each screenprint, set in an aluminum frame, is hand-signed and numbered, with prices ranging from $1,500 (small size, 51 x 51 cm) to $8,000 (XXL size, 120 x 142 cm). Applications to purchase are open until 9 December 2024, 17:00 GMT.
Invader on Camouflage:
“My work revolves around the concept of camouflage. I hide my mosaics in urban fabric, camouflaging myself in landscapes. Adopting military camouflage aesthetics reflects this idea.”
Alias and Pixel Pieces: From Street to Gallery
The Alias and Pixel Pieces series, available via HENI Primary, extend Invader’s pixelated art into ceramic works.
Alias Series
Alias artworks are “unique doubles” of Invader’s street mosaics, preserving the connection between public installations and collectible art. Each Alias includes ceramic tiles mounted on plexiglass panels and an ID card documenting its original street placement. These range in size from 52.2 x 76 cm to 195 x 102 cm.
Invader on Alias:
“Alias bridges the street and gallery. Owning an Alias connects you to its public counterpart, keeping its memory alive even if it disappears.”
Pixel Pieces
Breaking free from street-specific designs, Pixel Pieces offer new explorations of Invader’s pixelated aesthetic. These works, all made of ceramic tiles on wood panels, come in standardized sizes ranging from 47.5 x 50 cm to 104.8 x 162.3 cm, with some incorporating glow-in-the-dark tiles for added depth.
