Dissolves the source into pointillist scatter on a pale ground. Warm earth tones of cream rust and burgundy. The figure is readable but barely — features survive as suggestion rather than form.

Warm painterly rendering with a rocky stone background in cool grey and blue. The figure feels grounded and real. Naturalistic and unfussy.

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.

Cool blue-grey stone block architecture fills the background with arched recesses and layered masonry. The figure is warm-toned against a cool structured surround. Painterly and grounded with a classical architectural presence.

Fine mosaic tessera texture over pale grey-white stone forms flanking the figure. The surface maps figure and background in the same fragmented material. Cool and tactile with an archaeological quality.

Warm cream and pale pink with tall flowing organic forms filling the background. A fine woven texture maps figure and ground throughout. Warm and tactile with a gentle flowing quality.

Cool blue and pale grey with large flowing folded forms filling the background — billowing fabric or soft drapery rendered in fluid organic shapes. Figure painted in warm flesh tones with blue-grey overlay. Lighter and more structured than Ashen Chaos — cool and considered.

Bold flat colour planes in warm ochre rust and cool blue-grey with fragmented figures packed into every corner of the background. Borrowed cubist vocabulary deployed with cheerful abundance. Energetic and slightly chaotic — Picasso at the five-and-dime.

Irregular fragments in blue ochre warm taupe white and rose cover the entire surface in a varied and energetic mosaic. Figure built from the same colourful planes with red shoes catching the eye. More saturated and lively than Crockery — the palette of a well-stocked tile market.

Bright cerulean blue upper ground with large pale grey-taupe sculptural forms flanking the figure like twisted columns or sentinel presences. Figure painted in warm flesh tones against the vivid blue. Theatrical and architectural — the flanking forms give every subject a dramatic escort.

Saturated yellow ground with vertical streaks and drips of red orange and blue running through the composition like paint in motion. Figure painted in warm flesh and orange-red tones fully absorbed into the blazing ground. Hot gestural and overwhelming.
