TOUSSAINT

TOUSSAINT — the baptismal name of Gérard Curci — was born under the sign of Leo, in the sunshine of North Africa. From his earliest years, he devoted himself to drawing and arrived naturally, through self-teaching, at painting, imbued with the colours of the south. However, his first vocation was performance. He learned the disciplines of singing, dancing and theatre through musical comedies. It was, nonetheless, with the Bande à Basile that he became known: concerts in France and abroad, and numerous television appearances. From time to time, he returns to painting. After exploring different styles, he now favours abstract art. His meeting with the association « Les Peintres du Marais » gave him the opportunity to display his works: exhibitions at the Blancs-Manteaux, at Notre-Dame, Place des Vosges and Faubourg Saint-Antoine. A prize-winner at the Art Show Paris exhibition, he exhibits regularly at the « Art et Miss » gallery as well as at the Galerie Thuillier.
