Strong graphite on dark ground with bold sweeping strokes filling the background. High contrast and dramatic. The figure stands in a storm of marks!

Loose fragmented colour patches in blue white and pink on a pale ground. Mosaic-like but free. The fragments scatter across figure and background alike.

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.

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.

Pale grey with bold dark contour line and flat rose-pink colour fills on shadows and forms. Rocky cloud-like forms fill the background in the same graphic style. Immediate and illustration-like with a strong linear character.

Bright sky blue with large rounded cloud-like forms in white and pale blue surrounding the figure. Figure is warm and grounded against the airy cool surround. Light and open — one of the most genuinely sky-like backgrounds in this range. Luminous and uplifting.

Dark purple and charcoal with frantic swirling forms closing in around the figure. Background generates restless spiralling marks with a distinctly unravelling energy. Figure holds but the surround feels genuinely unstable. Moody and slightly alarming.

Near-white ground with cool blue outline marks describing figure and background in the same delicate line. Rounded organic forms in the background share the same blueprint-like character. Minimal and elegant — the figure exists as cool blue drawing on white. Light and immediately distinctive.

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.

Deep saturated navy ground with large warm cream rounded forms glowing loosely behind the figure. Figure painted naturalistically in warm flesh tones. The contrast between the intense blue surround and luminous pale masses gives the image a nocturnal intimacy. Painterly and atmospheric.
