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.

High contrast black and white with dark architectural forms flanking the figure. Graphic and controlled. The figure stands in a surround of deep shadow and structure.

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.

Warm golden-ochre with tall dark ornate column forms flanking the figure. The figure is rendered in luminous warm tones against the architectural surround. Rich and structured with a classical grandeur.

Cool blue-purple ground with fragmented cream and gold shapes behind a confident figure. Background generates a broken tile or stained glass quality. Bold and slightly psychedelic in register. Figure holds coherence against the fractured surround.

Warm cream and ivory ground with faint ghosted figure forms visible in the background texture. Painterly and delicate — the spectral presences are suggested rather than stated. Figure is confident and warm against the pale haunted surround. Flattering and quietly distinctive.

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.

Warm coral and peach collage fragments arranged in large diamond shapes suggest a torn-up pastel townscape — sun-bleached buildings seen from above or in elevation. Figure stands in front of the fragmented architecture against cool blue gaps. Tactile and sun-warmed.

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.

Large angular faceted planes in pale blue-grey white and cream cover the entire surface like crumpled paper or crushed ice. Figure painted in warm flesh tones sits gently against the cool crystalline ground. Precise delicate and icy.

Dense swirling gestural marks in cool grey-white and deep burgundy-red. Dark turbulent forms flank a pale central figure. Heavy impasto quality throughout. Brooding and theatrical.
