To follow the first edition published in 2020, the expanded second edition of The Royal Tour features recent work from Vincent Namatjira. These paintings, shown on the inside covers, continue the artist's thematic exploration from the original Royal Tour suite. Despite finding their bearings amidst the pillars of colonialism, power and First Nations identity, Vincent Namatjira's paintings are almost impossibly light and personal in their candour. Wranglings with race, politics and the empire coalesce with humour, humility and personal history. We grin as much as we grimace.
