Maramotti Collection, Reggio Emilia
November 15, 2009 - February 14, 2010.
Gert & Uwe Tobias presented at Collezione Maramotti their recent work, an installation composed of twenty one pieces of large wood engravings, paintings and sculptures, in a covering walldrawing all the walls of the exhibition space, the old models of Max Mara, now Pattern Room. The exhibition will be accompanied by a volume in the form of artist's book.
Like all their previous installations, the Tobias brothers have created a poster, a large color woodcut that exemplifies their original way of making writing and image. The manifesto thus becomes a work of art together, under the other works on exhibit, and an advertising tool.
All this gives the work a great originality both formally - for its extraordinary immediacy and at the same time its ironic postmodern tendency for quotation - and the case for the innovative use media, as the technique of woodblock color used for large-size pieces.
addition to the large woodcuts, which combine abstract and figurative elements, Gert & Uwe Tobias create ceramic sculptures, works on paper (gouache, collage, typewritten and pen drawings) also mixing various techniques and materials in a single job .
The two artists use a palette of unique, intense and luminous, based on the process of layering color strongly influenced the folklore, though devoid of any purely decorative. The use of color in a logical or totally illogical compared to the image, is their constant feature. Tobias
I work both together and separately, but together they always sign everything they produce. Their works, however created and produced, are the result of an extreme visual coherence, it is possible to speak of visual imagination and formal identity perfectly matching.
