Description

Twin brothers Gert and Uwe Tobias have been working successfully as an artist duo since the end of the 1990s. Because working as a team brings ideas together and sharing is the basis of their art, the twins discovered that collage, a cross-media technique that involves multiple forms of artistry, is their best representation of their style.

They convert a multitude of figures into drawings, ceramic sculptures and woodcuts, constantly varied and recombined. Raised in Transylvania, they are still influenced by their German-Romanian roots and the wealth of folk motifs from their native country of origin. In addition to myth-shrouded symbolism, many details of their work – the intense colours of the costumes and fabrics, and the exquisite embroidery on the cushions – are reminiscent of their homeland. Gert and Uwe Tobias are especially well known for their large woodcuts, the genre that is still the focus of their art production.

The pictures in this book have been created in a potato print-like process, in which the contours are sawn out of poplar, coated with paint and pressed onto paper or, more recently, on canvas. Book features:

A summation of Gert and Uwe Tobias’s wide-ranging and multi-faceted artistic repertoire, which spans several disciplines including ceramics, collage, potato print and, most importantly, woodcut.
