"Anton Gautama's pictures are full of subtlety, respect, and occassionally even humor. While appearing simple, his photographs reveal the unique and complicated ways each of us create personal spaces. These pictures provide a window into the seemingly banal parts of everyday life, but also offer a clear understanding of how we envision ourselves in the rooms and spaces we create. In a word, there are pictures about everything we call home."

"Thanks to Mr. Anton Gautama who sincerely can give an idea of the beauty's Pabean Market Surabaya that has been aged more than 100 years, through the photographic technique with extraordinary beauty and high quality. Hopefully, these results will be used as a reference for future generations (in the future) as well as a tool to trace the history of our beloved city of Surabaya."

"...Gautama shows us how he is exhilarated by experimenting with the sensibilities of colour and lighting. In "Home Sweet Home" as with the his earlier photographs of spice markets, his concept evolves around capturing traditions that he feels are of social documentary importance - and his choices are justified."

"A wonderful typology of the private living spaces of Chinese Indonesians. The melting of Chinese, Indonesian and Dutch icons and structures as seen in the pictures tickled my curiosity."

"Anton has a very strong sense of color and composition and have compiled a solid group of images in this selection... This type of work could show in galleries or museums too."

"Anton is a man animated by empathy. His art is quickened by a searching of heart and recognition in people, places and things; both familiar and found. His images that we exhibited in the gallery touched visitors, compelling them to seek us out to know more."
