Roby Dwi Antono — Stunned
Roby Dwi Antono

Stunned

2020

Rendered in pencil on cardboard, "Stunned" presents the characteristically wide-eyed, otherworldly figures that have made Roby Dwi Antono one of the most compelling voices to emerge from contemporary Indonesian drawing practice. Completed in 2020, this intimate work measures just under 30 centimeters on each side, yet commands a quiet intensity that far exceeds its modest scale. The cardboard support lends the composition a raw, almost found quality, grounding Antono's dreamlike imagery in something tangibly material. His pencil handling is precise yet atmospheric, building a surface that feels both meticulously observed and deeply interior. Antono's work occupies a distinctive space between illustration, surrealism, and figurative art, populated by subjects that carry an air of suspended disbelief and psychological weight. The title "Stunned" reinforces that sense of arrested emotion, a moment caught between knowing and not knowing, rendered with the artist's signature stillness. Works on paper by Antono at this scale represent an accessible and highly collectible entry point into a body of work that has attracted sustained international attention. The piece is hand-signed by the artist and ships from Illinois, with delivery estimated within three to five weeks of purchase. Standard shipping rates apply for both domestic and international destinations.
