At ART021 2016 in Shanghai, Matthew Liu Fine Arts included Thomas Canto in a presentation titled Contemporary Landscapes Masters, with Liu Xinjian, Yin Zhaoyang and Zheng Zaidong. For the fair he installed Still Life of Spacetime, a spatial composition of painted lines and suspended threads.
Black, white and blue geometries run across the walls, the floor and the air, disrupting the volume of the space. The work holds a tension between stillness and expansion, giving form to the invisible architecture of spacetime. It was the first of his many ART021 presentations with the gallery.
