Kat Allibe "Unveiled" — Original Oil on Canvas, Signed, 2026

The Piece

At thirty-six by forty-eight inches this is one of the largest works in the collection, and the scale is doing something specific: the figure meets you at close to life size, which is why the picture reads as an encounter rather than a decoration.

The subject is a woman the artist describes as still arriving — elegance worn with the confidence of someone who has not quite claimed it yet. A hat shades the eyes. Allibe is explicit that the hat is not concealment: it marks the difference between what we see and what we choose to understand. The face, as always in her work, is left unresolved, and here the withholding is the whole subject. The composition is built in confident single strokes with no timid correction, warm ground carrying one unexpected emotional note, and a generous portion of the canvas left quiet.

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, producing more than 150 works that never entered the market, before entering formal study at the Milan Art Institute in 2025.

Viridian Eclection is her private dealer. This painting comes directly from the studio — artist to dealer to collector, no intermediate hands — with a certificate of authenticity issued and signed by the artist.

Why It Belongs in Your Home

This is a room-defining picture — the piece a scheme is built around rather than one that fills a gap. Over a console, at the end of a long hall, or on the single tall wall of an open plan, it carries the distance and rewards the approach.

Available for private viewing at The Morris Hotel Building, Reno. Trade and design enquiries welcome.
