Warm sandy stone with rounded cobble-like forms filling the background. Soft and tactile. The figure feels set into the surface rather than placed in front of it.

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.

Dark blue-grey ground with large pale peach and cream cloud-like forms rising behind the figure. The figure is warmly rendered in flesh tones against the cool dark surround. Painterly and dramatic with a strong light-dark contrast.

Cool cerulean blue and cream in large flat geometric planes. Figure is warm against the cool blue geometry — a clean warm-cool contrast. Elegant and graphic rather than sensuous. Background generates smooth rounded geometric forms in deep and pale blue.

Cool teal and blue with swirling rounded organic forms creating a vortex-like background. Dark border frames the composition. Figure is warm against the cool oceanic surround. Dynamic and fluid — the background has genuine rotational energy. Related to Blue Organ but more oceanic than biological.

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.
