Stars and Stripes


HENI is delighted to release Stars and Stripes, a series of five limited edition silkscreen prints by acclaimed artist and social historian Nicola Green. The prints are based on Green’s original, spray-painted, mixed-media collages, which serve as a celebration of how the impossible can be achieved when people come together. By focusing on single, expressive hand gestures, the works evoke the legacy of social movements across time and place.

The works are framed silkscreen prints on Somerset Satin Cotton. The edition size of each print is limited to 25 (plus 5 APs) and they are priced at $2,000 (plus applicable taxes). Each work measures 68 x 51 cm (framed) and is numbered and hand-signed on the front by the artist.

The artworks are available exclusively by application on HENI Editions from 15 May until 26 May at 17:00 BST.

About Stars and Stripes


Stars and Stripes serves as a celebration of how the impossible can be achieved when people come together; it serves as a call to reflect upon and recommit to the ideals of unity and equity. The five works present expressive hand gestures as symbols for social movements across time and place. Each work evokes a sense of hope and change, narrating the legacy of progress and inspiring its continuation.

The Stars and Stripes prints replicate original spray-painted, mixed-media collages. The prints were made using up to 15 individual screens to painstakingly replicate the textures and visual effects of the original works. Each print therefore retains the immediacy and vibrancy of wet paint, as though freshly applied, alongside the dynamism of the collage.

Nicola Green

Nicola Green is a British artist and social historian who works at the intersection of contemporary visual storytelling and traditional portraiture. She is celebrated for her unique perspective that offers profound insights into the dynamics of legacy and representation, and how visual language can spark change. Green gained global recognition for her project In Seven Days... hailed by The Metropolitan Museum of Art as “an artistic and historic masterpiece”. For her project, Encounters, she depicted religious figures such as Pope Francis, the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Green co-founded and directed the Diaspora Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale and founded the Khadija Saye Arts programme at IntoUniversity. Her work can be found in public collections, including The Obama Presidential Center, The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

"As a white mother to mixed-heritage children, I have thought deeply about how my family experiences the world in ways that differ from my own. For the last twenty years I have dedicated my practice to witnessing pivotal moments and documenting them for future generations around the world. I have created work that visually explores our individual and collective stories. I believe art has a unique capacity to speak beyond words."
