Allibe's rule is that a picture is finished not when there is nothing left to add but when there is nothing left to define, and \u003cem\u003eBecoming\u003c\/em\u003e is where she takes the rule furthest: identity dissolved rather than described, the labels stripped off before something new has fully arrived.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead the surface as accumulation. Each layer of oil stands for a life lived, each colour for a lesson, and the artist works them over one another until the earlier states show through the later ones. At thirty-six by forty-eight inches the effect is architectural — the figure occupies the canvas the way a person occupies a doorway. A third of the surface is deliberately left to breathe, which is what keeps a painting this size from becoming oppressive in a room.\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.
