Blackbox is a small version of the installation “The Other Side of Midnight” a circle of 300 cm diameter where the front side features over 2000 hand painted stainless steel butterflies and the other side features insects. The installation is viewed in a dark room, lit by ultraviolet light projectors. Blackbox makes the circle glow in the dark and gives to it an impression of 3 dimensions.

Port Malabar and its companion piece Port du Canton reveal the artist’s fascination with the exotic artistic possibilities afforded by ‘the Orient’. He was a leading member of Academiedes Beaux Arts in Paris and also an official painter for the Navy Department. Fouqueray was awarded the 1909 Prix Rosa Bonheur and the First Prix Indochinein 1914.
