Cool grey with swirling marks and ghostly repeated faces emerging from the background. Unsettling and distinctive. The figure stands in a crowd of shadows.

High-key warm white with large fractured plaster forms filling the background. Cool shadows give the pale surface depth and sculptural weight. Light and substantial with a bleached stone quality.

Warm latte tones unify figure and background in golden cream and brown. Background generates smooth rounded boulder forms in pale grey-brown. Figure emerges with hyperreal softness against sculpted cave-like stone. Richly flattering to warm-toned sources.

Cool blue lavender and silver with a silky vertical flow in the background — draped fabric or cascading water in cool light. Figure is warm against the pearlescent surround. Iridescent and luminous throughout. One of the more delicate and distinctive backgrounds in this range.

Pale cream and warm rose with a distinctive stippled newsprint-like texture throughout. Figure has the quality of a silk screen that didn't fully take — present but not quite arrived.

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.

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.

Cool blue-grey and near-black with a blazing white centre that backlights the figure dramatically. Large dark organic forms sweep in from both sides like heavy wings or drawn curtains.

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.
