About the Artist
Gert and Uwe Tobias are a German artist duo, identical twins, renowned for their distinctive collaborative practice centered around large-format woodcut prints and mixed-media installations. Their unique aesthetic seamlessly merges elements of Romanian folk art, abstraction, and pop culture imagery. The Tobias brothers draw inspiration from Eastern European folklore, Symbolism, and their own shared history, creating vibrant, often unsettling compositions that are rich in symbolism and narrative suggestion. Their work frequently incorporates collage, drawing, and found objects, blurring the boundaries between high art and craft, and inviting viewers into a world that is both familiar and strangely enigmatic, steeped in a playful darkness.
