The Ten Largest: rhythm and scale

The Ten Largest, No. 3, Youth fills the surface with circles, curling lines and flower-like forms over an orange ground. Other works in the series change their colours and the balance of large and small shapes. Browse the dedicated Ten Largest collection to compare these related compositions.

The Swan: contrast and transformation

The Swan, No. 1 brings a white and a black bird together across a divided background. The wider Swan selection moves between recognisable forms and geometric arrangements. Looking across several designs makes the changing use of symmetry, contrast and direction as important as any one symbol.

The Altarpieces and geometric structure

Altarpiece No. 1 sets a coloured triangular form below a large circular field. Its upward movement differs from the looping lines of Youth, showing another way to organise colour and space. Further shape-led work can be explored in geometric abstract prints.
