Gert & Uwe Tobias

Exuberant imagination, craftsmanlike perfection and humorous depth characterise the large-format woodcuts, luminous collages and delicately nuanced typewriter drawings of the artist duo Gert & Uwe Tobias. In their new group of works GRISAILLE, which was created exclusively for the Munich exhibition, the artists rediscovered the centuries-old technique of “grey-in-grey painting” and at the same time interpret it in a new manner through the medium of the woodcut. Via the twilight of a monochrome colour scheme hitherto unknown in their work, the realm of shadows in their fabulous pictorial inventions not only acquires ambiguity, but is also carried to extremes once more.
