Soft painterly impasto in warm flesh and stone tones. The background reads as marbled or plastered surface. Figure and ground feel made of the same material.

Dark and dramatic with ghostly figurative forms emerging from the background. Rich and atmospheric. The figure stands before what feels like a scene from a classical painting.

Cool blue geometric planes like shattered ice filling the background. The figure is refracted rather than rendered. Cold and crystalline.

Rich teal and mid-blue swirling forms fill the background and wash across the figure. The palette runs from deep navy to bright turquoise. Immersive and fluid with strong painterly energy throughout.

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.

Pale white and cool grey-green ground shattered into large angular planes by bold dark outlines. Figure described in confident contour with minimal interior rendering. Background generates broken geometric shapes like fractured ice. Clean and immediate with strong graphic authority.

Cool blue and mauve with large rounded petal-like forms filling the background — abstract roses with a crystalline flash. Figure is warm and painterly against the cool floral surround. Soft and romantic but with a sparkling edge. Distinctive and immediately appealing.

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.

Irregular fragments in blue ochre warm taupe white and rose cover the entire surface in a varied and energetic mosaic. Figure built from the same colourful planes with red shoes catching the eye. More saturated and lively than Crockery — the palette of a well-stocked tile market.

Deep navy terracotta-red and pale blue-grey rectangular blocks arranged in a stark architectural composition. Figure painted naturalistically in warm flesh tones against the hard-edged colour field. Modernist and uncompromising — colour as architecture.

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.
