Attila Szűcs

Born in Miskolc in 1967, Attila Szűcs has lived and worked in Budapest since 1981. In his works, the artist invents a world that evokes a sense of mystery: believable, acutely familiar and tangible, yet also 'other' and eery. His interiors are often shrouded in a blur - a kind of mysterious fog - to this end. Their spooky quality is related to Freud's the concept of the uncanny (Unheimlichkeit), which unfolds in the tension between familiar and unknown, accustomed and unusual, living and inanimate.

Works by Szűcs can be seen in the Hungarian National Gallery in Budapest and in Ludwig Museum, Budapest, among others.
