Camo S (3C-M1)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Camo S (3C-M1) (2024) is the small format of Invader's Camo series, a HENI screenprint framed at 51 x 51 cm in an edition of 200 plus 20 artist's proofs. The 3C-M1 designation encodes the colourway and pattern, layering military camouflage over Invader's signature alien grid.
Collector notes: Edition of 200 plus 20 artist's proofs. Numbered and hand-signed by the artist.
Why It Matters
The Camo series merges two coded visual systems: camouflage, built to hide, and Invader's mosaics, built to be spotted in the urban wild. The tension between concealment and visibility drives the concept. As the small format, it offers an approachable scale within a coherent sized set.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 200 plus 20 APs is a moderate run. Collectors assembling the Camo set often pursue matching S and M formats and colourways; the 3C-M1 code is the identifier to track. The compact 51 x 51 cm size makes it flexible to display and pair with the medium format.
Historical Context
Issued in 2024 by HENI Editions, the Camo series continues Invader's long dialogue with pattern and pixel. Camouflage has recurred across contemporary art as a motif of both militarism and disguise; here it is fused with the alien iconography that has driven Invader's street campaign since the late 1990s.
