Gert & Uwe Tobias at the East German Gallery: a multifaceted view of image worlds between folklore and modernity
The overview tour of Gert & Uwe Tobias opens on September 13, 2026, providing a focused access to one of the most unique artist duos of the present. An art experience unfolds at the East German Gallery in Regensburg, combining printmaking, collage, drawing, and ceramic forms into a dense exhibition experience. The tour led by Nadine Landgraf B.A., art historian, takes you through a cosmos of images that hovers between cultural memory, abstract composition, and surreal figure worlds.

An artist duo with a distinctive signature
Gert & Uwe Tobias are among the most renowned printmakers of their generation. Their works are created in joint authorship and combine large-format color woodcuts with typewriter drawings, collages, sculptures, wall paintings, and installations. Characteristic is the tension between art historical motifs, pop culture references, and Transylvanian folklore. This creates a visual language that feels familiar and yet intentionally irritates.

Colors, shapes, and enigmatic figures
The exhibition at the East German Gallery showcases the special power of the woodcut technique, which the duo has further developed and enriched with colored areas, ornamental structures, and multilayered surfaces. Additionally, there are collages, typewriter drawings, and ceramic sculptures that transform the space into a poetic total work of art. The museum speaks of a universe of images full of enigmatic figures and surreal forms.

The museum as a precisely curated resonance space
The East German Gallery focuses on art from Eastern Europe and has a large collection of paintings, sculptures, and extensive paper stocks. This creates a special art historical framework for visitors, where contemporary art and museum history meet. During the construction work on the graphics wing, some cabinets remain closed; however, the special exhibitions on the ground floor are accessible without restrictions, according to the museum.

It combines art historical classification with immediate work observation and makes visible how the duo's motifs are nourished by art history, mythology, and memory. Those who attend this tour experience not just an exhibition, but a precisely curated form of cultural education that sharpens seeing and expands imagination.
