"Bias II" by Roby Dwi Antono is a captivating blend of surrealism and pop art, now rendered in a new medium. The ceramic edition features a familiar face from past print collaborations, casting a deadpan gaze through large, inky eyes. Its glazed surface with dappled monochrome details echoes the skillfully-rendered textures of Antono’s uncanny oil paintings. This piece explores themes of innocence, nostalgia, and the subconscious, marked by Antono's delicate rendering and soft colour palette. "Bias II" exemplifies his ability to merge whimsy with profundity, creating a visual narrative that is both enchanting and thought-provoking.
