It's not the first time for the audience to meet with Sinkovics Ede’s paraphrases, or as it would more correct to call them: with his remakes.After the remake of the ten most succesfull Hungarian paintings, he did the same with the French ones.The current works are the stations of this very same ’respectfully playful’ approach. Though the madness keeps going on.He doesn’t play only with the styles, but the functions as well: he doesn’t create an autonomus work of art, but composes a particular transition between painting and consumer object with embedding to image of practical and functional means.Naturally we can regard this attempt mainly as with equivocality, though it’s worth to attract the attention even to the explanation possibility, with which it responds – through the questions of self - value vs. functionality, work of art (to work art) vs. serving – to the situation of the contemporary art(ist).
