Description:
This striking mid-century French gouache by Guy Nicod bursts with energy and form, blending cubist geometry with an expressive use of colour. At its centre, a vibrant blue vase anchors a dynamic still life of lemons, vessels and abstracted shapes, surrounded by swirling planes of emerald green, saffron yellow, and crimson red. The composition is framed by a deep burgundy border, giving the impression of a window into a modernist interior. Nicod’s confident handling of gouache—a medium that allows both precision and opacity—transforms everyday objects into a kaleidoscope of angular design and rhythmic balance. His distinctive layering of translucent and opaque tones evokes the influence of post-war French abstraction and the legacy of Cubism as explored by artists such as Léger and Herbin.
Executed on fine artist paper, the piece reveals Nicod’s mastery of colour harmony and spatial structure, with carefully arranged overlapping forms that invite the viewer’s eye to travel across the picture plane. This painting exemplifies the artist’s fascination with the meeting point between realism and geometry, evoking both domestic intimacy and architectural construction. Ideal for collectors drawn to modernist design, 20th-century French abstraction, or vivid geometric still lifes, this work offers a strong decorative presence for both contemporary and mid-century interiors.
