InvadHirst
Work Summary & Collector Notes
InvadHirst (2025) is a HENI timed edition pairing Invader with Damien Hirst, executed as a 21-colour silkscreen on 410 gsm Somerset Satin cotton paper. Framed at 86.2 x 108.7 cm and catalogued TT2, it channels a Hirst motif through Invader's mosaic vocabulary in an ambitious multi-colour screenprint.
Collector notes: Timed edition of 1,194. Hand-signed by Damien Hirst and Invader on the front; hand-numbered.
Why It Matters
The 21-colour registration is a technical showcase, requiring precise alignment across many screens to build Invader's tessellated fields. As a collaborative silkscreen rather than a giclée, it appeals to purists who prize hand-pulled printmaking, and it anchors the earlier chapter of the Invader-Hirst partnership.
Collector Perspective
With an edition of 1194, this is a relatively accessible entry into the dual-artist series. Collectors should confirm the TT2 catalogue reference and the Somerset Satin substrate. The generous run means availability is broad, but the two-artist provenance and elaborate colour build sustain lasting appeal.
Historical Context
The edition is based on a collaborative work shown in Triple Trouble at Newport Street Gallery. HENI's timed release ran from 30 October to 10 November 2025.
