Oil on canvas at thirty by forty inches, a figure at the edge of dark water with the noise of a party left somewhere behind her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gold is the subject. Allibe works metallic pigment into the figure's wrap so that it reads, from across a room, as luxury — and then distresses it, so that up close it reads as weight. Each fragment of gold stands for something earned and outgrown. The water is painted as a mirror that returns no answer, which is why the composition withholds a horizon line and lets the dark carry most of the canvas. Against that, the gold does what a single emotional colour is supposed to do in her system: it holds the eye, and it does not explain itself.\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.
