Positive Space/Negative Space (Red/Cream)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Positive Space / Negative Space (Red / Cream) (2025) is a rare collaboration between Shepard Fairey and Invader, issued by HENI as a silkscreen with embossing on cotton rag paper. Framed at 53.3 x 72.3 cm and catalogued TT1-1, the Red/Cream colourway plays figure against ground in a shared visual language.
Collector notes: Edition of 250 plus 50 artist's proofs. Hand-signed on the front by Shepard Fairey and Invader; numbered.
Why It Matters
This pairs two titans of street art whose collaborations are uncommon, making the crossover itself the draw. The embossing adds tactile depth beyond flat screenprint, and the positive/negative concept lets Fairey's design instincts and Invader's pixel logic negotiate the same surface.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 250 makes this the tightest of the recent HENI collaborations covered here, a meaningful scarcity signal. The Red/Cream is one colourway among the series' variants. Verify the TT1-1 reference and the embossing, which is central to the object and difficult to reproduce.
Historical Context
The work is one of four Obey Invader designs based on collaborative works shown in Triple Trouble at Newport Street Gallery. HENI offered the series by application from 16 to 23 October 2025.
