Roby Dwi Antono,“Epos”
Enter the surreal world of Roby Dwi Antono’s EPOS. Drawing on the title itself–which means an epic poem that ultimately recounts the extraordinary shaping of the mortal universe for generations to come in the hopes that both poet and audience will understand themselves better as people or nation–Antono paints starry-eyed children, mythological creatures and, for kicks, the occasional pop culture icons. True to EPOS, Antono always aims to convey a message within his paintings.
Roby Dwi Antono (b. 1990) is a surrealist painter based out of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. His visual language forms connections between classical renaissance paintings, futurism, and fantasy, and draws inspiration from science fiction and natural history.
Roby Dwi Antono
I would often say that my works contain a set of idioms which have very personal meanings to me. I leave some visual cues in my works which act as a melancholic conundrum, for my audiences to set their eyes and mind upon. I love it when people try to guess the message behind my works and in the end each person will have their own interpretation, which is good because it opens the way for another enriching dialogue between us. The human experience affects both the idea and visual aspect of my works.
Epos (from the Bahasa Language) / nounep·os | \ ˈe-ˌpäsAn epic poem, or epope, is a lengthy narrative poem, ordinarily involving a time beyond living memory in which occurred the extraordinary doings of the extraordinary men and women who, in dealings with the gods or other superhuman forces, gave shape to the mortal universe for their descendants, the poet and his audience, to understand themselves as a people or nation.
Edith Lebeau, “Certain Scars Can’t Be Seen”
Edith Lebeau is a Canadian artist based on the north shore of Montreal, Quebec. She lives in the countryside, surrounded by fields, forest and a distant horizon line.
Edith’s work is focused on mental health awareness. She tells stories through the portraits that she creates.
Certain Scars Can’t Be Seen is her debut solo exhibition with Thinkspace Projects, following numerous group show appearances over the last few years.
Lebeau is exploring through the eyes of different woman characters, the various fears and dark emotions that we have in the deepest recesses of our mind. She paints female figures who are facing their own insecurities. These women are left alone with these feelings and fears that we ourself try to forget and try to bury. Her work is about struggle, fear, insecurities but also about strength and hope. Edith wants to help break down the stigma surrounding mental illness and through her work she wants to help people who are dealing with mental illness know they are not alone.
Empathy is always the key. Don’t judge, listen.
DULK, “Ephemeral Treasures”

Exhibition Dates: February 20 – March 13, 2021

Thinkspace Projects // DULK’s debut NYC solo exhibition with showcase new works on canvas. The debut of a new one of a kind sculpture alongside the debut of a new line of jewelry inspired by his work. Collector Preview will be shared on Monday, February 15 via our newsletter. Thinkspace has come together with Spoke Art in New York City to present DULK’s Ephemeral Treasures. They are pleased to present new paintings and the debut of a new sculpture by the Spanish painter and muralist, in what will be DULK’s fourth solo exhibition with Thinkspace, on view from February 20-March 13, 2021.
Antonio Segura Donat, known internationally by the pseudonym DULK, creates worlds of stylized Animalia and character creatures, striking an unlikely balance between the playful ease of children’s make-believe and the prescient threat of ecological doomsday. As surreal as they are foreboding, DULK’s works celebrate the beauty of nature’s biodiversity while simultaneously mourning the imminence of its loss. Much in the same way that fantasy actively invites collusion with nightmare, DULK’s extravagantly lush imagination, for all of its seductive warmth, is punctuated by premonitory distress, and poignantly aberrant, if not predictive, details.
