The vital shot in a still image that takes your breath away. The spectator's wait will not really be repaid by the great ostrich's run but it would seem possible given the vibrant tension of the sculpture with that wavy and disheveled plumage.
Calyxte's ability to transfer the vitality of running animals into his creations or, conversely, the static and fixity of the moment in which they stop to stare at us hidden among the branches comes from his modeling that adapts to the speed of the action. A marked and barely rough modeling that simulates the loss of detail in perceiving a plumage ruffled by flight or running, a less evident modeling for a still and flattened plumage due to the absence of movement.
