Warm red-ochre watercolour wash on pale ground. Loose and gestural. The figure feels sketched in colour rather than drawn in line.
Portrait of nude subject, making eye contact, in which arms play a vital role, body canted, smiling, cropped at the hip, gestural watercolor study, form built from warm washes rather than line
Cool grey and white with a peeling plaster or aged wall texture behind the figure. Painterly and tactile. The figure feels grounded in a real physical space.

Cool grey-brown with tall dark arched panels flanking the figure. The panels carry circular rivet-like forms giving the background a strong industrial character. Stark and architectural with a mechanical edge.

Cool grey with large angular fractured rock forms flanking the figure on both sides. The figure is warmly rendered in flesh tones against the cool jagged surround. Naturalistic and grounded with a raw stone quality.

Warm flesh and pale blue with tiled repeated copies of the figure filling the background in an ordered grid. The central figure stands before a wall of its own reflections. Distinctive and slightly disorienting with a pop multiplicity.

Pale blush and warm cream with large rounded organic forms flanking the figure — fleshy and biological in character. Background generates oversized cellular or organ-like shapes in soft pink and taupe. Figure stands warm and confident in the pale fleshy surround. Quietly unsettling.

Dusty rose taupe and cream in large swooping curved geometric planes — the warm counterpart to Teal and Ice. Figure integrates into the geometry in matching warm tones. Soft and unified with the same elegant geometric confidence. Warm and immediately inviting.

Cool silver and blue with dramatic angular mountain-like forms filling the background — jagged peaks or shattered rock faces in dark gestural marks. Figure is warm and painterly against the powerful cool surround. Alpine and commanding. One of the more dramatically structured backgrounds in this range.

Dark charcoal and deep purple flank large pale glowing rock or ice forms behind the figure. Scattered leaf shapes in the upper corners add a decorative note. Figure is warm against the luminous pale centre. Dramatic contrast between glowing stone and dark surround. Moody and painterly.

Warm coral and peach collage fragments arranged in large diamond shapes suggest a torn-up pastel townscape — sun-bleached buildings seen from above or in elevation. Figure stands in front of the fragmented architecture against cool blue gaps. Tactile and sun-warmed.

Pale watercolour-like ground with soft grey-blue shadow marks and rose-pink accents catching at knees hands and floor. Dark forms loom in the upper corners. The surface has a first-pull silkscreen quality — colour present but not yet fully arrived. Delicate and slightly unresolved.

Pale blue and cream angular planes fill the background in large airy blocks — bright and open rather than heavy. Figure painted in warm flesh tones against the luminous cool ground. Light-filled and confident.
