Soft impressionist brushwork in pale pinks greens and blues with floral forms in the background. Delicate and luminous. The figure feels alive with light and colour.

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

Warm ochre and flesh tones on the figure against a fractured white ground with bold blue and yellow colour blocks. The grid is loose and painterly rather than hard-edged. Energetic and immediate with strong graphic presence.

Warm cream and pale pink with tall flowing organic forms filling the background. A fine woven texture maps figure and ground throughout. Warm and tactile with a gentle flowing quality.

Cool grey and blue-white angular stone planes fill the background like a quarry face. Figure is clean and graphic against the fractured surround. Pale and architectural — precise rather than painterly. Strong structural character throughout.

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.

Deep crimson and burgundy geometric planes sweep through the background in large bold angular forms. Figure rendered in pale white-grey tones against the rich red surround. Dramatic and saturated — the red commands the image. Architectural but warm-blooded.

Luminous white cloud forms fill the background with dark charcoal tendril or vine-like marks threading through them. Cool blue-grey at the base. Figure painted in warm flesh tones against the pale open surround. Looser and more organic than Pale Damask — botanical rather than decorative.

Cool blue-grey and near-black with a blazing white centre that backlights the figure dramatically. Large dark organic forms sweep in from both sides like heavy wings or drawn curtains. Figure sits at the threshold of light and shadow in deep cool tones with only traces of warm flesh breaking through.

Entire surface broken into dense confident brushstrokes in cool blue-grey and white — figure and ground unified in the same energetic mark-making. The figure is present but woven into the surface rather than sitting on it. Cool silvery and kinetic.

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.

Pale near-white ground with loose organic forms in cool blue-grey and warm taupe floating around the figure like torn fragments drifting in open space. Figure painted in warm golden flesh tones with loose painterly marks. Airy and open with generous white space throughout.
