The Piece
The only cityscape in the collection, and the only painting drawn from somewhere Allibe actually lived. She spent three years in Hong Kong, and this is the city as she felt it rather than saw it — deep blue for the water that surrounds and fuels it, flecks of gold and white rising like sparks for the opportunity coming out of every corner.
Without a figure to withhold, the method has to work purely as paint, and it does: confident single strokes, no timid correction, colour held to a tight range, and a skyline implied rather than drawn. For a collector who finds her figures too personal, this is the way into the work. Twenty-four by thirty-two inches.
History & Provenance
Kat Allibe is a French-born contemporary painter working in Reno, Nevada, and the originator of Emotional Impressionism. She painted privately for over thirty years — more than 150 works, almost none of them sold — before entering formal study at the Milan Art Institute in 2025.
Viridian Eclection is her private dealer. This painting comes directly from the studio, with a certificate of authenticity issued and signed by the artist.

Why It Belongs in Your Home
An abstract with no face in it goes places a portrait cannot — an office, a boardroom, a corridor, a client-facing space. It is also the piece to buy for someone with a Hong Kong chapter in their life, which is a narrower market but a decisive one when you find it.
Available for private viewing at The Morris Hotel Building, Reno. Trade and design enquiries welcome.
Every piece is packed with professional-grade materials: multiple foam layers, double-boxing, directional and fragile handling labels. For large furniture we use custom timber crating. We photograph packing before dispatch and can provide images on request.
White-glove delivery is complimentary within 100 miles of Reno, NV. National shipping quotes provided at checkout. All shipments are photographed and documented. Damage claims must be filed with the carrier; we provide all documentation needed to support your claim.

All antique and vintage items are sold as described and all sales are final. Each listing includes detailed condition notes and photographs so you can make a fully informed decision. We encourage buyers to ask questions — about condition, dimensions, finish, provenance — before purchasing.
Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques. We do everything within our power to ensure safe transit, but cannot accept liability for carrier damage. If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
