Roby Dwi Antono

Roby Dwi Antono, born in 1990, is a contemporary Indonesian artist. He is inspired by Mark Ryden, the founder of Pop Surrealism, and the iconic Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara. By fusing the aesthetics of surrealism and classical Renaissance imagery in his own way, he produces a very distinctive contemporary art. 

Antono's paintings typically depict children with enigmatic, glowing eyes and mythological creatures. There are also allusions to pop culture, such as the icons he admires, Jerry Lorenzo, Tyler The Creator and Takashi Murakami. Whatever the subject, Antono always aims to convey a message in his paintings, which all have a very personal signature.
