Surreal, Macabre Paintings Of Children And Animals Inhabiting A Fantasy World





Indonesian artist Roby Dwi Antono has a series of surreal paintings depicting the strange, uneasy relationship between children and animals inhabiting a fantasy world.



Gorgeously detailed and delicately painted, there is a mournful macabre beauty about the Alice in Wonderland-esque pieces.



In one painting, a girl carries a teapot with blood flowing from its sides and spout while a teacup containing the severed head of an animal sits on a plate by her feet. In another, a girl holds a baby with an umbilical cord stemming from intestines spilling out of a dead fish that is being cut open by a naked figure with a tree head.
