Gert and Uwe Tobias Romania, b. 1973
Adopting a typically collaborative approach to their creative process and employing a broad range of traditional and contemporary artistic media including woodcut, painting, drawing, collage, ceramic and installation, Gert and Uwe Tobias investigate the ramification of cultural identity as they conjure up an enigmatic, otherworldly imagery where narratives of figurative art and geometric abstraction braid together.
Originally from rural Romania but based in Koln (Germany) ever since leaving their home country at twelve years of age, the Tobias Brothers combine the profound inspiration from their native Transylvania - as its topical myths provide contextual framework to their practice - with the influence of Germanic culture. Folkloric legend, carnivalesque figures and archaic elements are incorporated into a polymorphous visual language which simultaneously embraces pop culture with a sensitive eye towards its potential to distort reality. Their iconic vocabulary integrates a nebulous amalgam of references where elements of Constructivism, Surrealism and Symbolism coexist with Medieval iconography and vernacular motifs morphing into a fairy tale universe of hybrid creatures in a seemingly constant metamorphic state.
