HEAD IN THE CLOUD "88 RISING"
2020
Head in the Cloud "88 Rising" presents one of Roby Dwi Antono's signature wide-eyed figures suspended in a dreamlike visual field, rendered through screenprint with the precise, luminous quality that has made the Indonesian artist one of the most sought-after voices in contemporary lowbrow and pop surrealism. Created in 2020, the work channels Antono's recurring preoccupation with innocence, isolation, and the strange tenderness of figures caught between waking and reverie. His palette and linework carry the unmistakable influence of manga and street culture, filtered through a sensibility that feels at once nostalgic and quietly unsettling. Produced in a limited edition of 400 and signed by the artist, this print represents an accessible yet meaningful entry point into Antono's practice, particularly given its connection to 88rising, the influential Asia-centric music and culture collective whose visual identity aligns naturally with his aesthetic. That cultural alignment lends the work an additional layer of significance for collectors at the intersection of contemporary art, music, and Asian creative movements. The edition size, while generous enough to reflect the work's community-oriented spirit, remains controlled enough to sustain long-term desirability. Measuring 81.3 by 61 centimeters, the composition commands presence without overwhelming a domestic or office setting, and its unframed state offers collectors the freedom to present it according to their own spatial vision. Currently available through Dope! Gallery, this is a well-documented, signed work by an artist whose international profile continues to rise steadily across gallery circuits and institutional collections alike.
