Descriptions:
The Importance Of Being Ernest (Crowned) is a vibrant study in repetition, identity, and visual rhythm. Presented as a grid of multicolored crowned skulls, the work transforms a single iconic image into a sweeping field of shifting hues.The repetition invites viewers to reflect on how color alters emotion and meaning while the crown adds a symbolic layer that blends legacy, power, and the universality of the human form.
Printed as a C-Type on Fuji Crystal Archive Glossy and mounted on alu-dibond with a perspex face, the artwork has a polished surface that enhances each tone and gives the composition a luminous clarity. This limited edition piece offers collectors a bold and contemporary statement that merges pop sensibility with conceptual depth.

About The Artwork
expand_more
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 colors 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.
