Roby Dwi Antono — Bulan
Roby Dwi Antono

Bulan

2022

Bulan presents one of Roby Dwi Antono's characteristically enigmatic figures rendered in the vivid, jewel-toned palette that has come to define his visual language. Produced in 2022 as a screenprint in colours with curable UV inks on 410gsm Somerset Tub Sized Radiant White paper, the work translates the dreamlike symbolism of Antono's painted practice into the precise, layered medium of fine art printmaking. The title, meaning "moon" in Indonesian, anchors the image in a quietly mythological register, evoking the cyclical, luminous quality that permeates much of the artist's world-building. Born in Yogyakarta and now widely recognized across Southeast Asia and beyond, Antono draws on surrealism, pop iconography, and Indonesian folkloric tradition to construct figures that feel simultaneously innocent and unsettling. The screenprint format suits his imagery well, amplifying the flat graphic intensity of his color fields while lending each impression a jewel-like clarity that rewards close attention. The UV inks contribute a subtle vibrancy that shifts with lighting conditions, giving the work a quiet dynamism on the wall. This edition of 200, each impression pencil-signed by the artist, offers collectors a well-considered entry point into Antono's practice at a moment of sustained international momentum. The sheet dimensions of 50 by 44 cm make Bulan an intimate yet commanding object, one that functions equally well as a standalone acquisition or within a broader collection of contemporary Southeast Asian art. Framing is not included, allowing collectors the latitude to present the work according to their own display preferences.
