/// Biographie de TOCTOC ///
Creative, passionate and full of imagination, Toctoc invented a funny and endearing character that he calls “Duduss”. While Toctoc was launching into applied arts studies, the Duduss, men with a minimalist look with a large open mouth without teeth, were born in 2012, invading the walls of Paris. Caricatures of well-known personalities (Michael Jordan Duduss, Tim Burton Duduss, Super-Duduss, Bat-Duduss, Salvadore Dali Duduss...), his characters that he first sticks in the street, end up being invited into exhibitions, books , comics, animation...Toctoc plays with Duduss in a creative and offbeat way to convey funny messages full of good humor. He also works with his Duduss to convey more committed messages, particularly in relation to the defense of the environment and animals. Toctoc has regularly integrated references from art history into his work. In 2014, he published Salut l’Artiste, a work in which he humorously paid tribute to the masters of painting. Since then, his Duduss have traveled the world: United States, England, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Kuwait, Dominican Republic, Reunion Island, Bangladesh, Belgium, Switzerland, Greece…
