The most ornamental composition Allibe has released, and the one where her restraint is doing the most work to keep it from tipping over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA golden headpiece shaped as a wing sits above a face left characteristically unfinished. In a lesser painter's hands the motif would be costume; here it is held in check by the palette discipline — a warm ground, one emotional colour, and a refusal to gild anything beyond the single passage that earns it. The gold is worked and distressed rather than laid on clean. The subject is transformation treated as a decision repeated over a lifetime rather than an event that happens once, which is why the figure is painted mid-life rather than mid-flight.\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.
