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

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.

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.

Deep cobalt blue background with warm golden-yellow forms bursting outward in bold impasto. Figure painted in warm cream and flesh tones at the centre of the energy. Theatrical and baroque — stormy sky with golden light breaking through. One of the more dramatically coloured styles in the set.
