The twins Gert & Uwe Tobias are among the most famous German artists in the field of printed graphics; their international success has taken them as far as New York and the Museum of Modern Art.
To this day their inimitable signature has lost nothing of its radical approa ch. Their most recent group of works, GRISAILLE, matches up to the promises inherent in the artists' reputation. Exuberant imagination, craftsmanlike perfection and humorous depth characterise the large - format woodcuts, luminous collages and delicately nu anced 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 t ime 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.
