‘Black Eye – Third Sight’ was inspired by artist Anish Kapoor gaining exclusive rights to Vantablack known as ‘the blackest black.’
The headline ran "Top sculptor is given exclusive rights to the purest black paint ever"
Furr planned to use Vantablack in a series of paintings titled Animals, after seeing the feature on BBC’s The One Show’ Vantablack, the darkest black invented. He told the Mail on Sunday, ‘I’ve never heard of an artist monopolizing a material”.

Black Eye – Third Sight ‘This black is like dynamite in the art world, and all artists should be able to use it. It isn’t right that it belongs to one man. ‘In November 2018, Christian launched a new super-black titled ‘7Black’, he initiated, at the Science Museum London developed by Imperial College London scientists; Hin Chun Yau and Francois de Luca.

‘7Black’ was incorporated in a neon artwork in the shape of a pair of spectacles entitled ‘Black Eye – Third Sight.’ Furr stated that this black body material would be available to any artist that wanted to use it. The art piece was launched at the Science Museum in 2018.

"I am fascinated by the links between art and science. Technology means ‘science of craft’ . I needed this when I needed a new super nano-black to use for my neon art piece ‘Black-eye Third Sight’ which is now on permanent display at Colt Technology Services (Its preview was at the Science Museum Lates in 2018.)
I say these links between Art and technology should be encouraged. Regarding the hypothetical proposal of ‘Technology/art overlap No – no’s’… … sounds like the premise of a Paul Verhoeven movie? ? For instance, as an artist, If you were offered a commission to decorate a giant killer robot to make it look pretty… what would you do ? Personally I’d make my excuses and leave! ? "
