Chantal LACOUT Ainsi soit-elle

Both, in subject and technique, the artist creates a symphony of powerful content.
These sculptures balance each other out and are immensely fascinating and
impressive.
Chantal Lacout’s slender and textured bronzes form silhouettes of immobile men and
women captured in subtle movement, fragile and sensitive.
By personifying what is real and universal to the human soul, Lacout captures a
subtle sense of eternity and grace.

JACQUES LEBESCOND INSIDE
The bronze sculpture I am about to present  to you entitled Inside is a work of art that is both complex and elegant. It depicts two large faces, in a beautiful blue-grey, which are only connected at the base. Between these two faces, we can see two other smaller and mobile ones, symbolizing the freedom of each person within a lasting union of the couple. Two opposite faces and two central faces with a 360-degree rotation. 
The tension present in the sculpture can be interpreted as a metaphor for the challenges and obstacles inherent in human relationships, but also for the strength that emanates from the effort to overcome these obstacles. The choice of bronze as the material gives this sculpture sturdiness and durability, while adding a timeless aesthetic. The carefully crafted details and characteristic patina of bronze can add an extra dimension to the work, emphasizing the contours and expressions of the figures.
It evokes the desire to get closer, to communicate and to create connections despite challenges and differences.
This bronze sculpture is a true masterpiece that will captivate the eye of all those who contemplate it.
