Roby Dwi Antono — CLARA
Roby Dwi Antono

CLARA

2022

A young figure gazes outward with an expression that hovers between innocence and unease, the hallmark emotional register of Roby Dwi Antono's practice. In "Clara" (2022), the Indonesian artist deploys his signature visual language of wide, luminous eyes, delicate linework, and subtly unsettling undertones to conjure a character who feels simultaneously familiar and otherworldly. The composition balances softness with psychological tension, drawing the viewer into a quiet confrontation with themes of vulnerability, interiority, and the ambiguous boundary between childhood and something older. Executed as a silkscreen in an edition of 200 and signed by the artist, this work offers collectors an accessible entry point into one of Southeast Asia's most compelling contemporary voices. Antono's imagery draws from anime aesthetics, surrealism, and pop culture, filtering these influences through a sensibility that is wholly his own. The limited edition format ensures both accessibility and collectibility, while the intimate scale of 50 by 44 centimeters makes "Clara" an ideal work for considered, close viewing. Antono has built a devoted international following through his paintings and works on paper, and his prints carry the same emotional charge as his larger canvases. "Clara" is currently available through Kumi Contemporary and represents a strong opportunity to acquire a signed edition from a pivotal year in the artist's career.
