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 naturally progressed, as a self‑taught artist, to painting, steeped in the colours of the south. Yet his first calling was the stage. He studied the disciplines of singing, dance and theatre through musical comedies. It was, however, with Bande à Basile that he gained recognition: concerts throughout France and abroad, and numerous television appearances. Periodically, he returns to painting. After exploring different styles, he now favours the abstract. His encounter with the association 'Les Peintres du Marais' afforded him the opportunity to exhibit his works: exhibitions at Blancs‑Manteaux, Notre‑Dame, Place des Vosges and Faubourg Saint‑Antoine. Winner of an award of honour at the Art Show Paris exhibition, he exhibits regularly at 'Art et Miss' gallery and at Galerie Thuillier.
