Projects 86: Gert & Uwe Tobias
January 8, 2008 | Levent OZLER
Gert and Uwe Tobias (German, born Romania, 1973) are collaborators and twin brothers, based in Germany, whose work centers on large-scale woodcuts, but also includes typewriter drawings and watercolors, handmade ceramic sculptures, and wooden constructions.
They often combine these varied mediums-all of which display lush, vivid color and strong graphic compositions-in installations.
Drawing on such diverse sources as popular culture, traditional Eastern European folk art, and art historical movements like Constructivism, the Tobias brothers create a body of work that is both playful and haunting.
