ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This series was made at the orphanage Saint-Joseph Ouvrier de Saint-Michel de l’Attalaye, were I stayed for a couple of weeks. The celebration of the first and solemn communion is very important in Haiti. People are religious and very superstitious at the same time. Celebrating communion is celebrating a milestone in their lives. People are very poor in Haiti. Children who are staying in this orphanage have at least two meals a day and a bed to sleep in. They have the opportunity to celebrate their first and solemn communion. But you don’t have to expect a glamour party. It is very austere. And of course, everybody is looking forward. A pig is slaughtered, the girls are doing their hair, the orphanage is being cleaned. On the big day, the children are nicely dressed. The priest comes from the village to the orphanage, some neighbors are invited. One particular space of the orphanage is decorated with balloons, white sheets, and plants. It is an unforgettable and emotional moment. When I sell work from this series, most of the profit goes to the children from the orphanage. - LIMITED EDITION #1 TO 6 - With certificate of authenticity, signed by the artist and numbered. - Location: Haiti - Original will be printed on a very beautiful Hahnemühle art paper. - All large format prints are printed with margins (added to the image dimensions (approx 2 Inch)). - This work will be shipped rolled in a secure tube. - Please feel free to ask about other sizes: more formats available. - Please contact curator@saatchiart.com for more details

Belgium
Frank Verreyken (b. 1954, Belgium). I live and work in Antwerp, Belgium. I’m a painter and a photographer. I don't follow a set line, and am not turned in a certain style. I am detached from all pigeonholes. I always create my work from a desire to create. That desire can be emotionally or intellectually driven. The form itself is subject to that specific, immediate desire. Whether it's photographic work, charcoal, or paint, it doesn't matter. My integrity is always there because I don't make work to please. I am always grateful that people, from all over the world, sense, appreciate, and respect that. I participated in several group and solo exhibitions all over the world : London, Washington, Santa Monica, Budapest, Los Angeles, Milan, Berlin, Brussels, Dresden (see : exhibitions) Collectors bought my work from the USA, Canada, South Africa, Germany, Austria, Holland, Belgium, and France
