Antono BIAS 2

2022

BIAS 2 is a ceramic sculpture by Indonesian artist Roby Dwi Antono, produced in 2022 as a signed edition of 75. Measuring approximately 24.5 by 29 by 26 centimeters, the work presents the artist's signature figure in three dimensions, a rounded, doe-eyed form that collectors familiar with Dwi Antono's paintings will recognize immediately. The face carries his characteristic deadpan stillness, with oversized, ink-dark eyes that hold their gaze with an unsettling composure somewhere between childhood innocence and knowing detachment. The ceramic medium translates the meticulous tonal surfaces of Dwi Antono's oil paintings into glaze with surprising fidelity. Dappled monochrome details move across the form in a way that recalls the careful gradations of his painted originals, maintaining the uncanny quality that defines his visual language even as the work shifts from canvas to sculptural object. This coherence across media is no small achievement, and it speaks to how fully the artist has developed his iconography into something that transcends any single format. For collectors, BIAS 2 offers an accessible point of entry into a body of work that has attracted serious international attention. As a signed, editioned object it sits comfortably alongside works on paper and prints while functioning as a genuinely compelling sculptural presence. Currently available through Dope! Gallery, the piece represents both a collectible artifact and a meaningful extension of one of Southeast Asia's most distinctive contemporary practices.
