Gert & Uwe Tobias are twin brothers, born in Brasov, Romania
in 1973. Known for their large-scale woodcuts and sculptural
constructions, the artists draw on the dark mythologies and history
of their native Transylvania as their subject, bringing age-old
folktales and imagery into the realm of the present. Images that
figure prominently in the prints and sculptures include not only
skulls and monsters, but also modern graphic design, ancient
ceramic forms, camp Hollywood horror ï¬lms, and abstract
imagery.
Gert & Uwe Tobias' work has been exhibited in numerous
museums and galleries worldwide, notably a solo show at Hammer
Museum, Los Angeles September 2006 - January 2007 and the
Kunstverein Heilbronn. Recent group exhibitions include
Künstlerbrüder at Haus der Kunst, Munich, which traveled to the
Palais des Beaux Arts, Brussels; as well as those at Team Gallery,
New York, and Sprüth Magers Lee, London. A further project room
show is planned for the the Museum of Modern Art, New York in
2008.
Gert & Uwe Tobias are represented by CFA,
Berlin, Rodolphe
Janssen, Brussels, and Maureen
Paley, London.
