Gert Tobias and Uwe Tobias (born ) are twin brothers working as a collaborative duo of visual artists.

They are known for their woodcut prints as well as relief sculptures, and drawings using typewriters, watercolours and ceramics.[1] Their work centres on their Romanian heritage and the myth and legend that is associated with that area, such as the story of Dracula.[2] They combine their native history with elements of contemporary graphic design, camp horror films and abstract art.[3]
