Emil Für
Emil Für is a dreamer, and his dreams are vibrant, dynamic, and multilingual—much like him. Emil, a Hungarian Jew from Budapest, is a true citizen of the world. He has lived in Israel and England, making him home wherever he works.
Emil’s commitment to his craft is evident in his educational journey. He graduated from the Teacher Training College in Budapest in 1990, majoring in drawing. Five years later, in 1995, he graduated from the Károly Eszterházy Teacher Training College in Eger, also majoring in drawing. Between 1996 and 1998, he studied art history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Emil’s artwork is deeply influenced by his childhood memories, and toy figures frequently appear in his paintings. His graphics often depict everyday life, featuring bourgeois characters from the 1920s and 30s and contemporary Israeli Hasidim. His early works were characterized by dark tones, which brightened significantly after his time in Israel. Emil often incorporates souvenirs into his pieces, and installation art has become an essential element of his exhibitions.
“In Emil’s pictures, 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 with mythical and surreal creatures, embedded in a unique symbolism. (Winged Chasidim with Mothers and Babies”(Victoria Rosenstein))
“The paintings are inspired, among others, by well-known literary works, stories, legends, and often famous film stars, celebrities, or mythical figures. For example, you also have the anthropomorphic Mr. Rabbit from Lewis Carroll’s Alice story. The surreal underworld of the stories created by Lewis Carroll, the bizarre and grotesque adventures and characters, and the mystery and hidden meaning typical of his fiction appear in every detail of the paintings.”(Victoria Rosenstein) (Men meeting on the Street)
“Emil expresses human characteristics, attitudes, and moods through irony and grotesque humor. Hidden behind the bright colors and the gaiety of the clearly arranged compositions lies a profound message and thought-provoking content.” (Victoria Rosenstein) (Magician and crowd of people)
