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 sepia and grey-brown tones over a heavily layered textured surface. The background generates dark flanking forms that read like weathered or torn paper. The figure feels retrieved from an aged document rather than a contemporary image.

Bright teal blue white and red in large fluid abstract shapes surrounding the figure. Background feels restless and unanchored — forms drift without fully resolving. Figure holds coherence against the scattered surround. Energetic but loose — works best with strong confident sources.
