Gert and Uwe Tobias are the rising stars of contemporary graphic art. The Romania born twin brothers (*1973) are currently living and working in Cologne, Germany. During their studies they already had their first solo exhibitions, followed by various shows throughout Germany, Europe and the United States. The Tobias brothers are highly rewarded.

Since completing their studies, Gert & Uwe Tobias have been collaborating in drawings, ceramics, and woodcuts. Their artworks are assembled into overall installations, often held together by coloured walls and spatial interventions, which are not only associated externally but also in motif.

In each of their media the brothers explore the creatures of surreal imagination and fantasy. Mostly these figures have, although close to humankind, distanced themselves from humanity.

Gert & Uwe Tobias take folkloristic motifs from collective societal structures, memories and traditions. They can be inspired by their mother's knitting patterns - domesticated motifs, which the two transfer to their woodcuts and typewriter drawings.

For the first time, this publication features Gert and Uwe Tobias' drawings which display lush, vivid color and strong graphic compositions.
