Warm brown and taupe tones with dramatic rocky stone forms flanking the figure. Painterly and classical in feel. The figure and background feel genuinely integrated.
Portrait of nude subject making eye contact, face and body angled way from the canvas, body canted, tight cropping, integrated figure and landscape in warm browns, painterly realism
Strong graphite on dark ground with bold sweeping strokes filling the background. High contrast and dramatic. The figure stands in a storm of marks!

Pure monochrome grey with large geometric faceted planes filling the background. The figure is folded into the same angular surface rather than modelled in the round. Precise and cool with no colour anywhere in the image.

Dense honeycomb dot pattern in warm gold and brown covers the entire image. Bold white rounded forms break through the pattern creating strong contrast. Warm and intricate with an almost textile quality.

Pale lavender and cool grey with tall vertical forms and ghostly figurative shapes emerging from the background. The figure stands in a softly haunted interior. Atmospheric and slightly unsettling with a delicate palette.

Pale ground with a dense blue-grey pattern of text-like or script-like marks filling the background. The figure is rendered in warm flesh tones over the inscribed surface. Distinctive and layered with an archaeological quality.

Warm flesh and pale blue with tiled repeated copies of the figure filling the background in an ordered grid. The central figure stands before a wall of its own reflections. Distinctive and slightly disorienting with a pop multiplicity.

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.

Stark black corners frame radiating crumpled white planes — crushed paper or foil caught in sharp light. Figure is warm against the high contrast surround. Graphic and dramatic with a strong print-like character. Bold silhouettes read with particular intensity in this style.

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.

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.

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.
