Spanish term or phrase: un vacío antitético al del desconcierto frente al exceso
Hi everyone! I'm translating an article on artist Jean-François Rauzier to UK English and I'm not quite sure how to translate this phrase. The original article is in French, if that's any help. http://www.arts-spectacles.com/Arches-Jean-Francois-Rauzier-... This is the end of the article. Thanks for your help!

En definitiva, Arches son imágenes ensambladas de estructuras volantes, pero también estas simples escaleras de bambú que invitan a una interioridad, densa, casi arcaica, la del artista. ¿Y si la Salvación consistiera en hacer primero el vacío?
En todo caso, ***un vacío antitético al del desconcierto frente al exceso***. Diferente también al que describe François René de Châteaubriand, cuya sepultura erigida en la isla frente al Palacio de las Artes de Dinard parece hacer resonar este epitafio: “Los bienes de la tierra tan solo cavan el alma. Y le aumentan el vacío…”. Es un digno eco de la Génesis y el Arca de Noé que sostiene el recorrido artístico propuesto por Jean-François Rauzier.
