A figure with the face lifted — one of the few upward gestures in a body of work built almost entirely on figures turning away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe painting is about a return of feeling rather than the arrival of a person. Allibe describes the subject as a woman who mistook endurance for strength and quiet for peace for long enough that her own senses had gone dormant. The upward tilt of the head is the moment they come back. Compositionally it is the reason the tall format works: the empty upper third of the canvas is not wasted space but the thing she is turning toward, and Allibe's rule about letting a third of the surface breathe earns its keep here more literally than anywhere else in the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Provenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKat Allibe is a French-born contemporary painter working in Reno, Nevada, and the originator of Emotional Impressionism.
