Pale cool ground with ghostly figurative forms emerging from the background. Soft and ethereal. The figure shares the space with phantom presences.

Warm sandy stone with rounded cobble-like forms filling the background. Soft and tactile. The figure feels set into the surface rather than placed in front of it.

Portrait 1641 — Rose Relief

Rose Relief

Warm pink and mauve with large rounded boulder forms filling the background. The figure is naturalistically rendered and pops with sharp presence against the soft stone surround. Painterly and warm with a grotto-like depth to the background.

Portrait 1641 — Graphic Rose

Pale grey with bold dark contour line and flat rose-pink colour fills on shadows and forms. Rocky cloud-like forms fill the background in the same graphic style. Immediate and illustration-like with a strong linear character.

Portrait 1641 — Purple Shatter

Purple Shatter

Cool blue-purple ground with fragmented cream and gold shapes behind a confident figure. Background generates a broken tile or stained glass quality. Bold and slightly psychedelic in register. Figure holds coherence against the fractured surround.

Portrait 1641 — Blue Granite

Blue Granite

Cool blue-grey palette with chunky broken brushwork throughout. Background generates irregular boulder or cloud-like forms in blue grey and muted brown. Figure merges softly with the cool ground. Loose and painterly with a raw textural quality.

Portrait 1641 — Blue Haunting

Blue Haunting

Deep navy and cobalt with rounded organic forms in the background — ghostly skull-like faces scattered through the dark blue ground. Figure is cool and pale against the haunted surround. Oceanic and eerie rather than overtly threatening. Dark and distinctly unsettling.

Portrait 1641 — Quartz Facet

Quartz Facet

Large angular faceted planes in pale blue-grey white and cream cover the entire surface like crumpled paper or crushed ice. Figure painted in warm flesh tones sits gently against the cool crystalline ground. Precise delicate and icy.
