Please come and enjoy a collection of wonderful paintings by the Hungarian Jewish artist Emil Singer-Fuer.
Emil?s amusing paintings have a highly individual way of presenting an association of ideas. In his pictures, well-known motifs and figures appear in an unusual form, often reinterpreted in bizarre associations and combined with curious elements. Angels dressed in red with black hair and black wings or wearing a hat and Hasidic garb; grim and nasty-looking hares; devils with enormous twisted horns ? or adorned with peacock feathers. He represents the elements of reality, especially paradox situations, mixed together with mythical and surreal creatures, embedded in a unique symbolism. In this complex system the paintings reflect upon one another, and are to be interpreted as closely-connected elements of a serial story.
Born in Budapest in 1973, Emil studied art history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His humorous, mystical and surrealist work has been exhibited widely in Hungary, Israel, the US and more.
