Invaded Blossom (Timed Edition)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Invaded Blossom (edition TT5-1) is a collaborative HENI Editions release pairing Damien Hirst with the street artist Invader. A gloss Diasec-mounted giclee on aluminium composite panel at 120 x 96 cm, it is numbered and hand-signed on the label by both Hirst and Invader, in an edition of 592, fusing Hirst's blossom motif with Invader's pixel-based visual language.

Why It Matters
Cross-artist collaborations carry appeal that neither name commands alone. Bringing Invader's mosaic-invader aesthetic into Hirst's cherry blossom imagery creates a genuine hybrid, and the dual hand-signature on the label makes the partnership explicit and verifiable on the object itself.
Collector Perspective
The dual Hirst-Invader signature is the collector centerpiece: two distinct artist followings converge on a single 120 x 96 cm panel. At an edition of 592 it is the more available of this collaborative pair, giving buyers a comparatively accessible entry into a documented two-artist release.
Historical Context
Hirst's blossom paintings have anchored several recent edition programs, and HENI has repeatedly facilitated collaborations that place his imagery alongside other contemporary artists. Invader, known for tiled mosaic works installed in cities worldwide, brings a recognizable counter-aesthetic to the pairing.
