SCULPTURES

Thomas Canto’s sculptural works translate his visual language into three-dimensional forms that explore balance, structure, and spatial rhythm. Composed of materials such as painted wood, polished steel, mirrored surfaces, and nylon threads, these sculptures reflect the architectural dynamics of the contemporary city. Through tension, reflection, and precise geometry, each piece becomes a physical extension of the artist’s exploration of movement, perception, and urban abstraction.

STRUCTURAL CYCLES

STRUCTURAL CYCLES

2024120 × 77 × 15 cmMixed media on mirror-polished stainless steel, burnt wood, acrylic glass

Structural Cycles layers horizontal strata of burnt wood, mirror-polished steel and acrylic glass across a reflective circular field. Dense linear bands accumulate like sediment or skyline, their darkness set against the luminous disc behind, time registered as structure.

COMMUTABLE IRIDESCENCES

COMMUTABLE IRIDESCENCES

202460 × 87 × 13 cmMixed media on mirror-polished stainless steel, dichroic glass

Commutable Iridescences shifts in colour as the viewer moves, its dichroic glass refracting light into changing iridescent hues across mirror-polished steel. The work makes perception itself the subject, a structure whose appearance is never fixed, commuting endlessly between states.

2023278 × 163 × 19 cm (variable)Mixed media on mirror-polished stainless steel, glass

Dimensional Plenitude spreads a panorama of blue-steel towers across reflective horizontal shelves, anchored by a white disc and black dot. The composition opens outward into a sense of full, expansive space: structure unfolding to occupy every dimension it can reach.

CONCRETE PARALLAX

CONCRETE PARALLAX

2022210 × 124 × 9 cmPolyurethane paint and silver plating on stainless steel

Concrete Parallax explodes a cityscape outward across a horizontal span, its layered planes shifting in depth as the viewer moves. A gradient travels from cool blue through amber to magenta, the linear architecture splintering and recomposing in parallax, solidity rendered as motion.

202383 × 110 × 30 cm (variable)Mixed media on mirror-polished stainless steel, acrylic glass

Brutalistic Transparencies sets heavy grey and black blocks against two concentric square voids that pull the eye into illusory depth. Brutalist mass meets transparent acrylic, weight and see-through surface held in direct dialogue, the solid and the immaterial in the same frame.

2023133 × 87 × 33 cm (variable)Mixed media on mirror-polished stainless steel, glass, acrylic glass

Modulor Expansions centres on a black woven-grid square set against a warm red glow, layered platforms expanding outward in measured steps. The title’s nod to Le Corbusier’s Modulor runs through the work, a proportional system caught in the act of expanding.

2023115 × 182 × 13 cm (variable)Mixed media on mirror-polished stainless steel, glass

Parametric Contemplation crowns a vertical skyline of black, white and grey towers with a white disc and a single black dot. The composition holds a parametric rhythm in quiet balance, structure resolved into a meditative, almost still configuration.

2022Circular composition Ø49 cmMixed media wall sculpture, mirror-polished and painted elements

This circular wall sculpture explores the interplay of architecture, light, and reflection. The composition radiates outward in dynamic lines, creating an immersive perspective that shifts with the viewer’s movement. The mirror-polished surface and gradient hues evoke both urban structures and cosmic expansion, blurring the line between painting, sculpture, and installation.
