SZINYOVA, Gergő

Budapest, 1986

Gergő Szinyova's artistic practice is connected in many ways to new tendencies in contemporary abstraction. His paintings usually form independent series that attempt to examine and reinterpret the historical and current paradigms of the medium. Furthermore, as an artist of the Tumblr generation, the 21st-century digital image culture's visual impulses feed into his paintings. By remixing various visual codes, Szinyova draws attention to the endless flow of imagery. The extremely thin, print-like surfaces of the paintings echo the aesthetic qualities of the risograph technique, which is similar to screen-printing and is currently experiencing a renaissance. To evoke and render risograph prints, the artist has developed a technique that allows each of the painted – yet print-like – image surfaces to function as a unique, unrepeatable and non-reproducible entity, even though the repetition of the digitally pre-drafted, vector-based motifs points towards the opportunities inherent to industry-level mechanical reproduction. Apart from the aesthetics of risograph prints, the Hungarian and European examples of Poster art originating from the 1970s and the 1980s are an essential reference for Szinyova. In addition to evoking the aesthetic qualities of reproduction, the artist seeks to avoid the presence of narrative and direct meaning. Mónika Zsikla

The extremely thin, print-like surfaces of the paintings echo the aesthetic qualities of the risograph technique, which is similar to screen-printing and is currently experiencing a renaissance. To evoke and render risograph prints, the artist has developed a technique that allows each of the painted – yet print-like – image surfaces to function as a unique, unrepeatable and non-reproducible entity, even though the repetition of the digitally pre-drafted, vector-based motifs points towards the opportunities inherent to industry-level mechanical reproduction. Apart from the aesthetics of risograph prints, the Hungarian and European examples of Poster art originating from the 1970s and the 1980s are an essential reference for Szinyova. In addition to evoking the aesthetic qualities of reproduction, the artist seeks to avoid the presence of narrative and direct meaning. Mónika Zsikla
