Transparent Landscapes, at Atelier des Bains in Geneva in 2014, was Thomas Canto's first exhibition devoted entirely to his three-dimensional work. Extending his research on urban architecture and perspective, his lines left the canvas to create works halfway between painting and sculpture.
Meticulously painted canvases are crossed by taut cables and held in Plexiglas boxes, which multiply the levels of reading. The shadows of the cables draw new geometries that change with the light and the viewing angle. The series brings together the dynamism of graffiti, the radical compositions of Constructivism and Suprematism, and the visual effects of Op Art.
