Tempus et Spatium I

Matthew Liu Fine Arts is honored to present Tempus et Spatium I an exhibition by renowned Belgian artist Renato Nicolodi. The exhibition's Latin title hints at the core themes explored in Renato's works. Renato challenges our understanding of physical and metaphysical dimensions, inviting viewers to contemplate the intricate relationships between past, present, and future. This approach echoes Western philosophical inquiries into temporality, such as Heidegger's profound reflections in 'Being and Time.' Additionally, it engages in a fascinating dialogue with Eastern philosophical concepts of time and space. A significant theme in Nicolodi's art is the concept of "emptiness." Whether in his concrete sculptures or paintings, we encounter mysterious portals and dark spaces that can be interpreted only from the outside, never truly entered. This exploration of "void" resonates deeply with Jung's concept of the "collective unconscious" in psychology and embodies the wisdom of emptiness in Eastern philosophy, particularly in Chinese Taoist thought. As Laozi famously stated, "Great talent takes long to mature; Great music is faintly heard; Great form has no contour." Nicolodi's works serve as a visual manifestation of this "formless form," providing viewers with a profound space for self-reflection and introspection.
