The surreal paintings of self-taught Indonesian artist Roby Dwi Antono: themes of solitude and loss inspired by 90s pop culture and 19th century realism.To wit:
Piece of September (pic 3) is a tribute to his brother who passed away in 2011, with family members symbolized by figures sitting at a table eating a live crocodile. Roby represents himself as a gloomy rabbit, his mother as a three-headed girl, his father as a figure with a crab claw head and his deceased brother as a suited figure with a lily for a head symbolizing purity, simplicity and spirituality.
