Part of a special Inky Parrot commemorative edition, Robi Dwi Antono illustrations are likely the most disturbing Alice interpretation ever published. Roby Dwi Antono is a young Indonesian surreal artist, that creates an astonishing mix of candid-terrifying figures, apparently deeply rooted on Carroll´s Alice in the Wonderland. Robi Dwi, however, refers to his work as “heavily influenced by masters like Mark Ryden and Marion Peck”. A visit to Rosie’s Tea Party (Mark Ryden) or Marion Peck’s Animals exhibition easily confirms that.
Inky Parrot/Artists’ Choice Editions in the UK, in the “Mad Tea Party” chapter, 2015. (Only 340 standard copies printed, numbered and casebound and 56 Special copies, bound quarter leather with a folder containing four prints portraying Alice).
