Gert & Uwe Tobias



"Romanian twin brothers Gert and Uwe Tobias create large-scale woodcuts and sculptural constructions. They use the dark mythologies and history of their native Transylvania as their subject, bringing age-old folktales and imagery into the realm of the present—while at the same time referencing modern graphic design and abstract imagery. In their multi-media installations they explore the way in which legends are formed and how objects stimulate cultural memory. Their world is dark, but not without a wry sense of humor." —Bob Niklas.

b. 1973 in Brasov, Romania, they live in Cologne, Germany.
Hochschule für bildende Künste, Braunschweig, Germany, 2002.

'I am a multidisciplinary artist currently living and working in Bucharest as a lead designer and partner at the graphic design offices of Acme Industries. Although I gained a BA in graphic design, I consider myself to be self-taught.

My first contact with art was in kindergarten where we were shown different drawing techniques with coloured pencils. Although I had no idea what I was doing I just started drawing. The moment I decided to be a designer was the exact same moment I graduated High School.

I’ve always been fascinated with the exploration of new shapes and new typefaces. Essentially, I’ve never quit doing typography ever since I learned how to write. It later evolved in graffiti, tattoos and towards digital.' [h]
