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 of partially dressed subject, making eye contact, square to the canvas. Arms play a vital role, body from the side, street clothes, tight cropping, rendered in warm sandy stone tones with rounded, cobbled texture
Pure monochrome grey with large geometric faceted planes filling the background. The figure is folded into the same angular surface rather than modelled in the round. Precise and cool with no colour anywhere in the image.

Dusty mauve-grey stone texture absorbs the figure into the surface. Body reads as shallow relief rather than figure against background. Cool and permanent — the source becomes architecture.

Hot coral and orange figure burns against fractured cool blue and white ground. Background generates angular broken planes with a ghosted second figure visible behind. Strong warm-cool tension dominates. Sources with bold colour read with hallucinatory intensity.

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 near-black ground with large pale rounded forms glowing with cool violet-grey light and teal edge highlights. Figure stands warm against the luminous floating masses. The orbs read as buoyant and light-catching rather than geological — strange and quietly spectacular.

Pale yellow cream and soft mauve-blue build both figure and background as if a pointillist painting has been gently diffused — dots present but bleeding into each other. Background generates large luminous cloud-like forms in the same soft technique. High-key and summery — luminous rather than crisp.

Warm cream impasto background covered in large swirling floral forms — the brocade fabric of a sofa that was never meant to be sat on. Figure rendered in warm flesh tones that merge politely with the respectable surround. Comfortable and slightly suffocating.

Bright cerulean blue upper ground with large pale grey-taupe sculptural forms flanking the figure like twisted columns or sentinel presences. Figure painted in warm flesh tones against the vivid blue. Theatrical and architectural — the flanking forms give every subject a dramatic escort.

Large rounded organic forms in cream pale gold and soft teal-grey pack the background like a mass of open oyster shells. Figure painted in warm flesh tones with the same impasto weight as the surrounding forms. Lush and sculptural — the figure is held rather than swamped.

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.

Flat irregular stone forms in cool grey-white with dark crack lines fill the background like a rendered stone wall. Figure painted in warm flesh tones with precise dark outline standing clearly in front of the flat pale ground. Clean graphic and architectural.
