Roby Dwi Antono - BIAS II
Date of creation: 2022
Medium: Glazed ceramic sculpture
Edition: 75 + AP
Size: 24.5 x 29 x 26 cm
Condition: In perfect conditions
BIAS II is a limited-edition sculptural work by Indonesian artist Roby Dwi Antono, whose visual production oscillates between pop surrealism and personal mythology. This piece continues the artist’s exploration of childhood, memory, and the emotional duality that defines his work, materializing his enigmatic characters in a three-dimensional form rich in symbolism.
Roby Dwi Antono’s work is characterized by a fusion of sweetness and melancholy, with characters featuring large, expressive eyes and an enigmatic presence. His influences range from Renaissance painting to contemporary pop surrealism, with references to artists such as Mark Ryden and Yoshitomo Nara. His universe is populated with serene-faced children, hybrid creatures, and elements that evoke the passage of time and the fragility of innocence.
In his sculptures, this dreamlike atmosphere acquires a new dimension, allowing his characters to transcend the canvas and become tangible objects with an almost physical presence. In BIAS II, Antono brings one of his iconic figures to life, achieving a balance between the ethereal and the material.
BIAS II is a ceramic sculpture, produced in a limited edition with a meticulous finish that highlights its smooth shapes and delicate details. Its glazed surface and subtle play of shadows invite contemplation and touch, conveying the stillness and mystery inherent in the artist’s universe.
The character depicted in BIAS II maintains the distinctive features of Antono’s iconography: a childlike figure with an ambiguous expression, oscillating between innocence and introspection. Its serene posture and deep gaze evoke nostalgia and mystery, as if capturing a moment suspended in time.
The sculpture has been produced in a strictly limited edition of 75 pieces. This exclusivity enhances its value as a collector’s piece, allowing admirers of his work to incorporate a tangible fragment of Antono’s vision into their personal collection.
With BIAS II, Roby Dwi Antono expands his artistic exploration into the realm of sculpture, giving volume and presence to his iconic characters. The work perfectly encapsulates the essence of his style: a blend of tenderness and intrigue, the ethereal and the tangible, the fleeting and the eternal. In this three-dimensional format, his universe takes on new life, inviting the viewer to experience his art from a renewed and evocative perspective.
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.

Roby Dwi Antono
Roby Dwi Antono (Indonesia) creates paintings that recall the works of Pop Surrealist founder Mark Ryden and iconic Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara. But Antono fuses the aesthetics of Surrealism and Classical Renaissance imagery to create a contemporary juxtaposition that’s all his own. Antono’s paintings usually feature starry-eyed children, mythological creatures and, for kicks, pop culture icons he admires such as Jerry Lorenzo, Tyler, the Creator and Takashi Murakami. No matter the subject, Antono always aims to convey a message within his paintings.
