Heavy is the Head That Wears The Crown borrows its title from Shakespeare, a metaphor often used to talk about the burden and difficulties of being a leader. The composition of 48 imaginary X-Rayed Coronation crowns (St. Edwards Crown) arranged in a rainbow gradient, is an homage to the legacy of HM Elizabeth II as well as her cultural influence during 70 years of reign, and a celebration of continuity with Charles III. As with all of Romano’s work, the use of colours and symbols in this piece are aimed to approach the matter (in this case leadership) with values that above all promote diversity and inclusion. The piece is beautifully finished with glossy perspex and ready to hang thanks to a subframe at the back. Limited and numbered edition of only 10, signed at the back 100x100 cm
