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.

Cool blue and taupe with large rounded figurative forms assembled in the background. Softer and more integrated than Teal Colossi — the background presences feel painterly rather than monumental. Figure stands confidently in the cool fragmented surround. Classical and considered.

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.

Soft blush-pink and warm white rounded forms fill the background with dark charcoal outlining. Figure rendered in cool pale tones against the delicate rose-white surround. Dreamy and slightly unreal — everything is soft and the world is pink.

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.
