Dark grey with cave-like grotto forms in the background. Hints of pink and mauve bleed through the stone texture. Cooler and moodier than Cool Slate.

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.

Large irregular fragments of cobalt cream deep red and teal burst outward from the figure like a shattered wall fresco. Figure painted in warm terracotta and flesh planes with the same impasto weight as the ground. The whole surface feels ceramic and substantial.
