Pixel, Poster, Provocation: Triple Trouble at Heni London

Heni is proud to present Triple Trouble, a landmark exhibition bringing together three of the most influential contemporary artists working at the intersection of street culture, digital play and conceptual art: Shepard Fairey, Invader and Damien Hirst. Opening in London, Triple Trouble unites bold public-facing practice with gallery-scale presentation, offering a rare chance to see how three very different voices collide, converse and amplify one another across painting, mosaic, print and installation.

About the exhibition

Triple Trouble assembles new and iconic works by Shepard Fairey, Invader and Damien Hirst in a curated sequence that emphasises contrast and dialogue. Across the gallery the viewer moves from Fairey’s politically charged graphic language to Invader’s pixelated, game inspired mosaics and on to Hirst’s provocative conceptual pieces. The show explores themes of visibility, reproduction and cultural iconography, asking how image, symbol and surface shape our public imagination.

Key exhibition highlights:

• Large scale Fairey prints and canvases that rework propaganda aesthetics into contemporary social commentary.

• Invader’s ceramic and mosaic “space invader” works installed across the gallery, translating digital nostalgia into tactile urban relics.

• Damien Hirst’s artworks that interrogate value and mortality, shown through sculptural, painted and print-based works that sit at the threshold of popular culture and institutional critique.

About the artists

Inspiration and curatorial approach

Triple Trouble was conceived as an encounter between three image-makers who, while operating in different registers, share a fascination for repetition, symbol and mass visibility. The curatorial approach frames each artist in relation to one another: Fairey’s graphic immediacy; Invader’s pixel logic and site-specific interventions; Hirst’s enquiry into value and spectacle. Together, they form a triptych of contemporary image culture that speaks directly to London’s vibrant street and gallery scenes.

The exhibition design alternates intimate presentations with monumentally scaled works, creating moments of collision and reflection. Each room is calibrated to foreground technique—mosaic tesserae, printed lithography, painted surface—so audiences may appreciate both material craft and conceptual intent.

Notable works and installations

• Fairey: Poster-size works and large canvases that combine stencilled portraiture with layered typography and found imagery, presented in sequence to trace shifts in tone from direct political address to more nuanced cultural critique.

• Invader: A selection of newly commissioned mosaics and smaller works that bring the artist’s city mapping practice indoors, including pieces that reference videogame palettes and arcade iconography.

• Hirst: Sculptural and printed works that use repetition and unexpected materials to probe themes of authenticity and commodification, framed here as both companion and foil to the populist energy of Fairey and Invader.

Why see Triple Trouble in London

Triple Trouble is a rare opportunity to witness a cross-generational, cross-disciplinary conversation between three artists who have each re shaped public visual culture. Whether you follow street art, contemporary conceptual practice or the London exhibition calendar, this show offers a fresh way to consider how images circulate across streets, screens and museums. The exhibition is speaks directly to collectors, students, creatives and anyone interested in the politics of image-making.
