Ranger Merah
2021
Ranger Merah presents one of Roby Dwi Antono's characteristically otherworldly figures rendered in a palette that balances delicate restraint with vivid chromatic punctuation. Produced in 2021 as a screenprint in colours on 100% Hahnemühle cotton paper, the work carries the tactile refinement that distinguishes fine art printing from reproductive output. The cotton substrate lends the ink a softness and depth that rewards close inspection, allowing the subtle layering of the screenprint process to read as something far more intimate than a mechanical edition might suggest. At 67 by 50 centimetres, the composition commands presence without overwhelming a considered hang. Antono has built a devoted international following through paintings and works on paper that draw equally from Indonesian folk mythology, surrealism, and a personal visual language populated by wide-eyed, ambiguous protagonists suspended between innocence and unease. Ranger Merah is a strong example of this sensibility, channelling the quiet tension that runs throughout his practice into a format accessible to collectors at varied stages of acquisition. Limited to an edition of 50 and hand-signed by the artist, the work carries both the integrity of a carefully controlled release and the provenance that underpins long-term collectability. For collectors building holdings in significant contemporary editions, Antono represents a compelling proposition. His profile has grown consistently across institutional and private collections in Asia, Europe, and beyond, and works from limited editions such as this one have demonstrated sustained secondary market interest. Ranger Merah is offered through Lougher Contemporary, a specialist in editions by internationally recognised contemporary artists.
