About this artwork
Taken from the series on the theme of "secret" in Oceania, here is the beginning of the story of "Stranger":
Offshore, the horizon blazed with the blood-red hue of a setting sun, a harbinger, to our eyes, of some cataclysm occurring on the other side of the world. We received our answer five days later. The sea carried improbable objects onto our beach. A terrible storm must indeed have raged a good distance from where we lived. As evidenced by… the artifacts of an unknown culture that rattled against each other in the surf.
This unforeseen shipwreck provided a good excuse to set off on an adventure. It didn't surprise me that a new mission was ordered in a large canoe. We had already taken possession of two islands to the south and traded with a people very similar to ours, whom we had discovered on lands further west. I, too, hoped to be part of the next team of great travelers...

Credentials
- Featured in gallery curations
Stéphane Foucaud, a graduate in visual arts from Strasbourg, expresses himself primarily through painting. His technique blends American Neo-Impressionism and tribal art, with an innovative use of acrylic, Indian ink, and burnt paper collages. His art, known as neo-tribal, revisits the cultural heritage of his native New Caledonia, oscillating between mythology, history, and identity. His works, vibrant with color and form, captivate the viewer, evoking a striking tension between the ancient and the contemporary, the particular and the universal.
