Title A name given to the resource Untitled (Che Che La Vi) by Didier Civil Description An account of the resource oil on canvas Didier Civil was born in 1973 in Jacmel. He began to draw at an early age. By 1990 he was exhibiting in various galleries in Jacmel. In 1994, Civil’s work was included in a book and a New York exhibition of the Jonathan Demme collection in entitled Island of Fire. Civil is a shrewd observer of the Haitian culture and frequently focuses on its underside, calling attention to the plight of the less fortunate such as street kids and homeless families. He also paints vodou subjects, seeming to favor the Gede family, the spirits associated with the afterlife. In this work, Civil depicts a young shoe-shine boy with his head resting in folded arms. A rat sniffs at the boy’s foot in this poignant and melancholy portrait.
