Clementine

2023

Clementine is a limited edition sculptural work in which Roby Dwi Antono renders his signature figurative vocabulary into three-dimensional form, carving the characteristic wide-eyed visage from walnut and beech wood before applying hand-painted acrylic details to the eyes, lips, and nose. The result is a face caught in a state of suspended feeling, simultaneously childlike and knowing, serene and unsettled. The contrast between the warm, natural grain of the wood and the precise, almost porcelain-quality painted features creates a quiet tension that rewards close looking, drawing the eye repeatedly back to the gaze at the composition's center. Antono has built a devoted international following through his paintings and works on paper, which borrow freely from anime, folk imagery, and art historical portraiture to produce figures that feel timeless yet distinctly contemporary. Clementine extends this sensibility into the sculptural realm without losing any of its emotional charge. The piece measures 30 by 27.9 by 23.9 centimeters, a scale intimate enough to establish a genuine physical relationship between the work and its viewer, inviting a proximity that amplifies the psychological presence the artist is known for cultivating. Issued in an edition of fifty and hand-signed by the artist, Clementine represents a compelling point of entry into Antono's practice for collectors seeking a sculptural work that carries the same depth of feeling as his two-dimensional output. The piece is currently available through The BlackWood Gallery and is offered unframed, allowing the sculptural object to speak entirely on its own terms.
