Invaded Cube (Timed Edition)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Invaded Cube (2023) is a HENI timed edition rendered as a Diasec-mounted giclée on aluminium composite panel, a substantial 100 x 100 cm and weighing 13.5 kg. Numbered and hand-signed on the label, it brings Invader's Rubik-derived cube imagery into a large, gallery-weight panel format.
Collector notes: Timed edition of 459. Numbered and hand-signed on the label.
Why It Matters
The square 100 x 100 cm panel and glossy Diasec surface give this edition a heavyweight object presence rare in print collecting. It represents Invader's Rubik Cubism ideas at architectural scale, where the pixelated cube face becomes a monumental, wall-dominating composition.
Collector Perspective
As a timed edition, the run of 459 was set by demand during the sales window. The label signature and numbering are the authentication anchors. At 13.5 kg the panel requires proper wall mounting and careful transport, factors collectors should plan for given the aluminium composite construction.
Historical Context
Released in 2023 through HENI Editions, Invaded Cube belongs to Invader's broader engagement with the Rubik's Cube as a pixel-native grid. That Rubik Cubism strand, which he has pursued in mosaics and canvases, treats the toy's coloured squares as a ready-made palette for reconstructing familiar images.
