Rubikcubism
HENI Editions is delighted to present 'Rubikcubism' by Invader. The drop features four colour-filled prints from Invader’s acclaimed series of artworks using Rubik’s Cubes.
The prints are composed of Diasec-mounted Giclée on aluminium composite panel, each measuring 100 x 100 cm. The number of editions produced will be limited by demand during the drop window, which opens on 2 February 2023 and will last ten days, closing on 12 February 2023 at 23:59 GMT.
Invader
The elusive street artist Invader uses his now ubiquitous pixelated characters to unpretentiously bring art to the masses. Self-described as an Unidentified Free Artist (UFA) whose identity is perennially hidden behind masks and digital pixelations, his pseudonym reflects his artistic practice – to invade (often illegally) spaces with viral art since 1998.
The nearly 90 territories he has invaded include the International Space Station, the seabed off the coast of Cancún and a remote city located at an altitude of 4000 meters above sea level where he had installed his 4000th mosaic in 2021. The discovery of a mosaic by Invader has become akin to an international treasure hunt for the 482.000 players of ‘Flashinvaders’, the free app he has developed. In a span of 30 years, Invader has expanded his practice into new media, delving into Rubik’s Cube sculptures in his Rubikcubist series, and produced installations, films and acclaimed exhibitions in galleries and museums worldwide.
"To create these artworks, I spent days in my studio twisting cubes, like painters would do mixing colours on their palette."

Four Unique Prints
Begun in 2005, Invader's 'Rubikcubism' series of sculptures constructs images solely using the six-colour palette and square tiles found on a Rubik's Cube. In doing so, the resulting images convey a similar impact to the abstractions of Pointillism or Cubism, with the subject of the artwork made visible only through physical distance or when viewed through a smartphone.
The 'Rubikcubism' prints represent highlights from Invader's series thus far, translating the original sculpture-images into a new medium and format. Invaded Cube is a Rubik's Cube with the artist's logo, and Rubik Camouflage uses the Rubik's Cube to replicate his iconic alien motif. Rubik Country Life emerges from his 'Rubik Low Fidelity' series of works after the covers of his favourite albums, while Rubik Shot Red Marilyn is a highlight from his 'Rubik Master Pieces' series of tributes to great artworks. Though each distinct, the prints remain unified under the same aesthetic, which fuses inspiration from video games and pop culture.
