*APC ART is pleased to present “Positive Space / Negative Space” (TT1-1 RED/CREAM), a landmark collaborative work by Shepard Fairey and Invader, two of the most influential and conceptually rigorous artists to emerge from the global street art movement.*

Executed as a silkscreen in colors on embossed paper, this work measures 53.3 cm x 73.3 cm (approximately 21 x 28.9 inches) and has been framed to true museum standard, giving the piece both visual authority and long-term preservation. The work is hand signed and hand numbered in graphite pencil by both artists and comes from the edition of only 250 works, with an additional 25 artist proofs. Affixed en verso is the official HENI certificate of authenticity label, further cementing the work’s impeccable provenance and institutional standing.

Visually, the composition is a masterclass in balance and tension. Invader’s unmistakable pixelated figure, rendered in bold red, occupies the positive space at the center of the work, immediately drawing the eye with its digital, icon-like presence. Surrounding it is Shepard Fairey’s intricately patterned cream ground — a hypnotic field of symmetry and repetition that recalls propaganda design, sacred geometry, and ornamental architecture. The interplay between the central figure and the surrounding pattern perfectly embodies the title “Positive Space / Negative Space,” creating a dynamic dialogue between presence and absence, figure and field, signal and noise.

Conceptually, the work represents a rare and meaningful synthesis of both artists’ practices. Fairey’s language of power, control, and mass communication converges seamlessly with Invader’s system-based, pixel-driven visual vocabulary rooted in early video game culture and urban intervention. Rather than competing, the two aesthetics reinforce one another, resulting in a composition that feels both timeless and unmistakably contemporary.

From a historical and market standpoint, this collaboration occupies a special place within contemporary art. Works that bear the signatures, iconography, and intellectual rigor of both Shepard Fairey and Invader are increasingly scarce, particularly those executed at this scale and with this level of production quality. The embossed paper, carefully layered inks, and restrained yet commanding palette elevate the work far beyond a standard edition, placing it firmly within museum and blue-chip private collection territory.

This is a visually commanding, intellectually grounded, and culturally significant work that represents an exceptional acquisition for the discerning collector — a true convergence of two defining voices in contemporary street art.
