Emil Fuer, painter, graphic artist and illustrator, studied art history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and history of art and civilization at the Hungarian Jewish Theological Seminary-University of Jewish Studies. His illustrations and paintings appeared in literary publications, in Hungarian Jewish periodicals and on book- and music CD covers. He won the Creative Grand of the European Association for Jewish Culture in 2002 with an individual installation project under the title'Depot' in the Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archive.

Emil Fuer shows a very individual way of presenting an association of ideas, which can be followed around the paintings through the whole exhibition. His works represent the everyday reality impregnated into the subtlety of surrealistic fantasy. His paintings are full of all sorts of weird creatures, grotesqe figures and Jewish individuals with kabbalistic mysticism, which is always present in some way in all his figures and scenes. The Jewish culture is reflected sometimes very delicately and sometimes more obviously, mostly with hidden self-irony and sour humour. The levels of meanings in his paintings are reflected like a holograph, therefore they create a special symbolic system.
