Fragments the source into angular colour planes with a cubist edge. Renders consistently in warm reds. The planes find bone structure on faces and body geometry on figures with equal conviction.

Clean pencil sketch with swirling organic forms in the background. Adds draftsmanship without imposing character.

Warm peach gold and dusty mauve fragments spiral behind a coherent figure. Background generates strong rotational energy — almost kaleidoscopic. Figure holds while the surroundings dissolve into motion. Energetic and flattering to warm sources.

Cool blue lavender and silver with a silky vertical flow in the background — draped fabric or cascading water in cool light. Figure is warm against the pearlescent surround. Iridescent and luminous throughout. One of the more delicate and distinctive backgrounds in this range.

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.

Pale cream and white with large rounded forms splashed with deep red blue and gold. Background reads like pale swirling marble with vivid colour scattered across it. Figure is warm and integrated into the rich complex surround. Energetic and distinctive — unlike anything else in this range.

Pale warm peach ground with massive sweeping black forms rendered in bold gestural marks at cave-painting scale. Figure painted naturalistically and relatively small against the dominant primitive marks. Raw and monumental.
