Bio – Seb Toussaint

Seb Toussaint, born in Caen in 1988, is a British and Norman visual artist influenced mainly by two sub-cultures: the “ultras” scene and graffiti writing. His imagination is nourished by the places he has traveled and lived, and his passion for urban landscapes, fonts, scripts, and local fashion.

Seb Toussaint has never been to an art school or had any kind of formal art education. His “schooling” was completed within the ultra scene. Growing up in Caen, Seb Toussaint became involved in the local supporters’ group called “Malherbe Normandy Kop”, who support S.M. Caen, a professional french football club. In his late teens he designs and directs the creation of large-scale stadium displays, which are a characteristic of the ultra scene.

After years of intense traveling and outdoor painting with his friend Spag, a Norman photographer, the two young artists start working on their new idea: “Share The Word Project”. The aim is to paint murals in low income neighbourhoods and refugee camps, each mural containing a word chosen by the owners of the wall.

“Share The Word Project” has taken Seb Toussaint to many destinations worldwide.
