For his third exhibition at Matthew Liu Fine Arts in Shanghai, in 2023, Thomas Canto set the architecture of his work in dialogue with the geometric abstraction of the twentieth-century avant-gardes. Le Corbusier was the central figure: an architect and painter whose Modulor relates the proportions of the human body to built space.
Among his works of that year, Modulor Expansion refers directly to this system. The same year, he created Metropolitan Harmony at the gallery, a site-specific wall installation of suspended volumes, geometric tracings and reflective materials.
