About the Item

Roby Dwi Antono - KINASIH Date of creation: 2022 Medium: Silkscreen with curable UV inks on Somerset paper Edition: 200 Size: 50 x 44 cm Condition: In perfect conditions and never framed This limited edition artwork, published in 2022, features a meticulous 24-layer screen print on 410gsm Somerset Tub Sized Radiant White paper, using UV-curable inks for exceptional depth. Hand-signed and numbered, it is part of an exclusive edition of 200 copies. KINASIH is a limited-edition work by Indonesian artist Roby Dwi Antono, a piece that encapsulates his signature balance between sweetness, melancholy, and mystery. Through his unmistakable visual language, Antono continues to explore themes such as childhood, memory, and emotional fragility, bringing to life a figure that evokes both familiarity and enigma. The title KINASIH, which in Javanese means “beloved” or “dear one,” reinforces the intimate and affectionate tone of the work. The piece features a character with a deep gaze and serene expression, distinctive traits in the artist’s universe. This figure, with a childlike appearance yet an almost timeless presence, conveys a sense of nostalgia and vulnerability, inviting the viewer to establish an emotional connection with the image. Antono blends influences from classical realism and pop surrealism, with references to artists like Mark Ryden and Yoshitomo Nara. His meticulous technique lends the work an ethereal and contemplative atmosphere, where each detail contributes to a sense of introspection and delicacy. In KINASIH, the artist plays with subtle contrasts: the innocence of the figure merges with a delicate melancholy, creating an image that transcends the purely visual and delves into the emotional. The composition is simple yet powerful, with a soft color palette that enhances its poetic aura. KINASIH has been produced in a limited edition of exclusive copies, each hand-signed and numbered by the artist, making it a highly valuable piece for collectors. The high-quality paper printing ensures a precise reproduction of the nuances and textures, preserving the artist’s original vision. KINASIH encapsulates the essence of Roby Dwi Antono’s artistic universe, blending tenderness and introspection into an image rich in meaning. Its evocative style and flawless execution make it an essential piece for those seeking an emotional connection with contemporary art. 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.
