Brown's large format oil paintings on linen merge gestural abstraction with figurative elements using densely layered, vibrant mark making that closely parallels Manning's approach in Quicksand. Both artists work in a visceral, expressive register where figuration dissolves into and emerges from turbulent painterly surfaces.

Saville's monumental figurative paintings combine oil and charcoal on linen with raw gestural energy, directly echoing Manning's mixed media approach incorporating graphite and charcoal alongside oil. Her work similarly occupies the charged territory between abstraction and figuration at a large scale with intense physicality.

Sillman's paintings operate in the same vibrant, gestural space between figurative suggestion and abstract expressionist mark making that defines Quicksand, using layered color and drawing materials together on the canvas. Her process driven approach to building surfaces through multiple media aligns closely with Manning's incorporation of minerals and traditional drawing materials.
