Lisabel - Actualite - Original Signed Mixed Media

Updated September 18, 2026

A striking original by the acclaimed Canadian contemporary artist Lisabel, Actualite is a museum caliber mixed media painting executed on a 12 x 12 inch cradled wood panel and finished in a luxurious, glasslike epoxy resin. The composition centers on a crisply cut, diagonally placed textile element - a deep oxblood and black patterned fabric with pinked edges - embedded beneath a flawless resin skin and traversed by a gestural ribbon of creamy impasto that arcs across the surface like a fissure of light. Surrounding passages of metallic bronze and carbon black - likely acrylic with mica or metallic pigment - are worked wet into wet to create luminous veils, pooled eddies, and sculptural ridges that catch and refract light under the resin coat, yielding a dramatic depth that is signature to Lisabel’s studio practice. The front lower right carries the artist’s metal nameplate LISABEL set into the clear coat, affirming studio authenticity, while the reverse of the professionally cradled MDF panel is titled ACTUALITE in the artist’s hand with a bold signature and size inscription 12 x 12, all consistent with Lisabel’s signed originals. The tactile layering of painted grounds, metallic passages, and the physically collaged fabric - sealed under a high gloss poured epoxy resin - creates a dynamic dialogue of material and reflection that shifts with the viewer’s movement, making this an ideal focal work for modern and contemporary interiors. Condition is excellent for display with the inevitable minor superficial dusting and faint hairline wipe marks to the resin visible only on close raking light and mentioned solely for accuracy. This is an outstanding example of Lisabel’s sought after mixed media technique that merges industrial resin, acrylic paint, metallic pigment, and embedded textile on a solid cradled panel. Collectors of Canadian contemporary art, abstract resin paintings, and high design statement pieces will recognize the luxury finish and sculptural presence that have made Lisabel’s works fixtures in blue chip interiors and corporate collections. Ready to hang from the integral cradle, measuring exactly 12 inches high x 12 inches wide. Provenance by direct observation of the artist’s title and signature on the back and the inset LISABEL studio plaque on the face. <br> <br>
