TOBE “FACE-OFF” from Tobias Kröger on Vimeo.
Tobe who recently showed in our recent AMM show has finished his latest wall ahead of an upcoming exhibition of new work titled “Face Off’. The cubist heads are part of a series of deconstructed cubist heads. Tobe aka Tobias Kroger has been known for his graffiti murals in Bremen Germany, yet he will hold his first solo exhibition where he reworks past ideas mixing his recent wall work with past art influences. His cubist portraits where a highlight for our recent exhibition and its exciting to see Tobe build a complete exhibition around the series of work. We will definitely keep you updated with a show recap when we get the pictures.

Tobe was for many years the graffiti pseudonym of the Bremen artist Tobias Kröger .
Now he shows up for the first time in his exhibition ” Face-Off ” . For his first
Solo exhibition Tobias Kröger has specifically created over 40 new works .
He confronts the viewer with cubist face structures, opaque masks of shapes that at first glance nothing to do with the genre with “Face – Off”
have to do the portrait. But if you look closely , recognizes in the painted Heads quotations from art history and contemporary art . In his virtuoso
Painting tradition meets modernity, chiaroscuro painting in oil on the graphical Forms of urban art.
