KINASIH
2022
Rendered in Roby Dwi Antono's signature visual language, KINASIH (2022) presents one of the Indonesian artist's characteristically otherworldly figures, wide-eyed and luminous against a composition that balances delicate linework with quietly arresting color. The silkscreen medium suits Antono's imagery with particular elegance, its layered registration lending the work a precision and graphic clarity that amplifies the dreamlike tension his figures are known to carry. Measuring 50 × 44 cm, the piece occupies an intimate scale that draws viewers close, rewarding careful attention with subtle tonal shifts and the fine detail that defines his printmaking practice. KINASIH belongs to a limited edition of 200 and is hand-signed by the artist, attributes that reflect both accessibility and intentionality. Antono, who has developed a devoted following across Southeast Asia and beyond, consistently works at the intersection of folklore, pop surrealism, and personal mythology. His figures feel simultaneously ancient and contemporary, sourced from a visual imagination that draws on Indonesian cultural memory while speaking to a broadly international audience. This work is no exception, carrying the quiet emotional weight that has made his prints among the most sought-after multiples by a younger generation of Asian artists. Available through Kumi Contemporary, KINASIH represents a strong entry point into Antono's printed oeuvre for collectors at any stage. Framing is not included, offering flexibility in presentation for those who wish to showcase the work in a context of their own design. Given the sustained demand for his editions and the consistency with which earlier works have appreciated, KINASIH holds both cultural resonance and considered long-term value within a contemporary collection.
