LES DE SUTTER, A FAMILY OF ARTISTS: Chantal de Sutter to admire in Avignon in the contemporary art gallery Le Cube Vernet

HAUTE COUTURE, HAUTES SCULPTURES, at the Cube Vernet gallery in Avignon

The bronze women of Chantal De Sutter, whether they measure 20 or 175 centimeters, invite the gaze of the amateur to take height as they are slender, slender, their infinite legs and their slender necks. top of which appears a thin face in exclamation point, haughty, mischievous, joyful or interrogative but always very expressive.

SUTTER'S SCULPTURES ARE NOT BORN WOMEN, THEY BECOME ONE, the proof in Avignon in the art gallery Le Cube Vernet

Because it takes sensitivity to capture and restore in sculpture all the expressions of such small faces. It takes imagination to portray such diverse attributes of femininity in 3D. It takes playfulness to attribute to each one here an accessory, there a little dog, from which will be born the magical moment when the bronze begins to tell you its story in the hollow of your ear. It takes the hands of Chantal De Sutter; so here are a thousand ideas coming to life in a woman not as generic as you might think at first glance. Each has its own character, attitude and quite logically its first name ... or that of the animal that accompanies it. Timeless and modern at the same time, slender and solid at the same time, tender and determined in the same movement, each of these sculptures is unique as is the emotion it produces. Nicely dressed, in lingerie or sometimes nude, their contemporary classic style is suffused with a dynamic elegance capable of arousing the curiosity of an art lover's eye.

Chantal De Sutter, in addition to her sculptures acquired for public space by Belgian and Italian municipalities, exhibits today in Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy and France.
