Gert & Uwe Tobias

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gert and Uwe Tobias (both born 1973) are artists based in Cologne.

Gert and Uwe were born in Braşov, Romania. They are twin brothers. They mainly make woodcut prints alongside relief sculptures, drawings using typewriters, watercolours and ceramics.[1] Their work centres on their Romainian heritage and the myth and legend that is associated with that area, such as the story of Dracula.[2] They combine their native history with elements of contemporary graphic design, camp horror films and abstract art.[3]
