About the Item

Roby Dwi Antono - Di Restoran Date of creation: 2021 Medium: Screen print on Somerset Velvet paper Edition: 99 + 8AP Size: 51 x 69 cm Condition: In perfect conditions Di Restoran is a limited-edition screen print created in collaboration with Moosey Art. The artwork is printed on Somerset Satin 410gsm paper, a high-quality material that enhances the rich colors and precise details characteristic of Roby Dwi Antono's style. The edition consists of 99 copies plus 8 AP (Artist Proofs), all hand-signed and numbered by the artist, ensuring their authenticity and exclusivity. Di Restoran is a work by Roby Dwi Antono that encapsulates his distinctive style, a fusion of pop surrealism and symbolism imbued with nostalgia. In this image, a melancholic-looking girl sits at a table, where a glass rabbit rests. Her serene yet enigmatic expression reinforces the sense of mystery that permeates the composition. Antono's characters often feature childlike faces with large, expressive eyes that convey vulnerability and wonder. However, this apparent innocence is tinged with a sense of strangeness and duality. In Di Restoran, the image blends the ordinary with the dreamlike, creating an atmosphere open to multiple interpretations. The glass rabbit can be read as a symbol of fragility, transparency, or even transformation—recurring elements in the artist’s work. The mastery of light and texture in this piece enhances the ethereal quality of the scene. The atmosphere is carefully crafted through a soft, diffused color palette that reinforces the introspective tone of the composition. The scene, while seemingly simple, is rich with emotional and narrative nuances that evoke memories, dreams, and a sense of suspended time. The work was published as a limited-edition screen print in collaboration with Moosey Art, reflecting Antono’s growing popularity in the contemporary art world. His ability to merge influences from magical realism, mythology, and pop culture has allowed him to establish a unique artistic identity, where each piece serves as a window into a deeply evocative visual universe. ABOUT THE ARTIST Roby Dwi Antono is a contemporary Indonesian artist born in 1990 in Semarang, Indonesia. His work is characterized by a fusion of pop surrealism with references to classical mythology, popular culture, and magical realism. Through his paintings and drawings, Antono creates a visual universe where tenderness and eeriness coexist in a nostalgic and dreamlike aesthetic. From an early age, Antono showed a great inclination toward art, exploring different media and techniques. His interest in illustration led him to develop a unique visual language, influenced by artists such as Mark Ryden and Yoshitomo Nara, whose styles share a similar emotional sensitivity and focus on melancholic characters with large, expressive eyes. Before establishing himself in the contemporary art world, Antono worked as an illustrator, a stage that allowed him to refine his mastery of drawing and composition. Soon, his talent attracted attention within the Indonesian art scene, leading him to exhibit in local galleries. His success in Indonesia marked the beginning of his international recognition, and his works began to be presented in cities such as Tokyo, Los Angeles, New York, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, consolidating him as one of the most prominent emerging figures in Asian art. The Symbolism in His Work One of the most distinctive aspects of Antono’s art is his use of symbolism, with constant references to mythology, childhood, memory, and the duality between the ephemeral and the eternal. His characters are often children or hybrid figures combining human and animal elements, evoking a sense of nostalgia and exploring themes of identity and transformation. The influence of nature is evident in his compositions, with representations of fantastic creatures, exotic flora, and celestial elements, reinforcing the dreamlike and mysterious quality of his works. Color and texture play a fundamental role in his style. His palette is rich in pastel tones, contrasted with vibrant details that add depth and dynamism to his compositions. His meticulous and detailed technique allows him to create immersive atmospheres, where light and shadow play an essential role in the visual narrative of his pieces. Exploring New Media Although Antono is primarily known for his paintings, he has also explored other media such as sculpture and digital printing. The three-dimensionality of sculpture has allowed him to expand his visual language, giving his characters a physical presence that further highlights their expressiveness. Likewise, his forays into graphic design and illustration have allowed his style to transcend the canvas and reach new audiences. Additionally, the artist has participated in collaborations with design and fashion brands, bringing his aesthetic to other formats and expanding the interaction of his work with contemporary visual culture. This multidisciplinary approach has contributed to his growth within the art market and has established him as a key figure within the pop surrealism movement. The Impact of His Art The rise of Roby Dwi Antono has coincided with the growing interest in contemporary Asian art, where his work has been well received by both collectors and critics. His ability to create an emotional connection with the viewer, through images full of symbolism and emotion, has made him an influential artist in the global art scene. As his career continues to expand, Antono keeps exploring new forms of expression while preserving the essence of his unique visual universe. His work represents a balance between classical and contemporary, fantasy and reality, offering a unique vision of 21st-century art.
