Description:
This striking cubist abstract gouache by French modernist artist Guy Nicod (1923–2021) demonstrates his bold exploration of form, structure, and colour. The composition features an intricate arrangement of angular planes and interlocking shapes rendered in a vivid palette of primary reds, yellows, and blues, offset by earthy browns and greys. The layering of geometric elements suggests an industrial or mechanical subject—a tractor, machinery, or workshop tools—yet the image remains open to interpretation, inviting the viewer to discover new details with each glance.
Nicod’s use of gouache on paper allows for sharp contrasts between opaque blocks of colour and softer blended areas, giving depth and rhythm to the composition. His style draws upon the traditions of early 20th-century Cubism and Modernism, yet maintains a distinctly French post-war sensibility, with hints of Futurist dynamism and the decorative abstraction associated with mid-century design.
As a painter, Nicod worked widely across still life, landscape, and abstract subjects, always with a distinctive command of colour harmonies and graphic structure. Here, the interplay of geometric abstraction and mechanical imagery reflects the period’s fascination with progress, industry, and modern living.
Ideal for collectors of cubist painting, French modernist gouache, or those seeking a bold statement piece, this work pairs well with other mid-century abstract art. Its saturated hues and architectural composition make it particularly effective in contemporary interiors, whether displayed in a minimalist modern space or alongside eclectic collections of 20th-century design. From the artist’s estate, the work remains unframed, ready to be mounted to taste.
