damien hirst x invader invadhirst (2025)
invadhirst (2025) is a collaborative work by damien hirst and invader, created for the triple trouble exhibition at newport street gallery and presented in collaboration with heni. executed as a 21-colour silkscreen print on somerset satin white 410gsm cotton paper, the work brings together two highly distinctive visual languages in a deliberately structured composition.
what i like about invadhirst is how clearly it captures the logic of both artists without either one being diluted. at first glance it reads as pure invader — the pixel grid, repetition and digital logic of the space invader language. but the structure underneath is unmistakably hirst, with its ordered, clinical grid system and controlled colour relationships.
the interesting part for me is that it doesn’t feel like a simple mash-up. it feels more like a shared system where both practices already overlap — hirst’s obsession with repetition and formal structure, and invader’s reduction of imagery into modular units. in that sense, the collaboration feels unusually natural rather than forced.
for me, the work sits at its best when you think of it as a collision between two rigid visual languages that actually align more than you expect. it’s controlled, system-based and very intentionally designed as a hybrid rather than simply a gesture.
part of the appeal also comes from its context. invadhirst is not an isolated edition, but a work anchored in the wider curatorial experiment of triple trouble at newport street gallery, where the visual vocabularies of the participating artists were deliberately brought into contact.
damien hirst has established an international reputation through a practice that has explored repetition, mortality, colour, structure and the relationship between art and commerce. invader has likewise developed a distinctive international practice through his pixelated imagery, bringing together street culture, digital aesthetics and nostalgia. invadhirst is particularly interesting because it brings these two very different but surprisingly compatible approaches together in a single work.
for collectors, the appeal is also in the specificity of the collaboration: a signed work by both damien hirst and invader, produced for a major gallery exhibition and published by heni in an edition of 1,194.
