Di Restoran

2021

Di Restoran presents one of Roby Dwi Antono's characteristic figures in a quiet moment of interior solitude, rendered through the precise layering of screenprint on Somerset Velvet 300gsm paper. The heavyweight, velvety surface draws ink with exceptional depth, amplifying the artist's signature palette and the subtle tension between innocence and unease that pervades his imagery. Antono, who emerged from Yogyakarta's vibrant contemporary scene, constructs characters that borrow from cartoon aesthetics and surrealist dreamscapes in equal measure, giving them a timeless, unsettling familiarity that resonates across cultural contexts. Produced in 2021 as a limited edition of 99, Di Restoran occupies a meaningful place within Antono's print-based practice, translating his painted worlds into a medium that rewards close, sustained looking. Each impression in the edition is hand-signed by the artist, affirming its standing as an authorised work rather than a mere reproduction. At 51 by 69 centimetres, the composition commands attention without overwhelming a domestic or institutional wall, offering considerable visual presence in a format accessible to collectors building serious holdings in Southeast Asian contemporary art. The work is currently available through The BlackWood Gallery, which represents a timely opportunity given the accelerating international recognition Antono has received in recent years. His prints, produced in disciplined edition sizes, have demonstrated strong collector retention and secondary market interest, making Di Restoran as sound an acquisition as it is a visually compelling one. Framing is not included, leaving collectors freedom to present the work according to their own spatial and aesthetic vision.
