About the artwork
In an imaginary world tinged with innocence, Roby Dwi Antono depicts a scene that has all the makings of horror. Characters borrowed from multiple fictional universes find themselves around a macabre spectacle, after what must have been extreme violence, and where everything tends to point to their guilt. The characters, both living and dead, remain extremely smooth, and the atmosphere is reminiscent of the fairy-tale atmosphere of childhood, with its particular ambiguity and terrible ambivalence.
Expert opinion
At the age of 32, Roby Dwi Antono is constantly in the news. Since 2014, when his first work went on public sale, his stock has exploded. In May 2022, his painting Asih sold for four times its estimate at Christie's, making him an artist to watch closely.
