Title: Cubist French Abstract Figure With Geometric Shapes Red And Blue
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed

Description:
This dynamic gouache by French modernist Guy Nicod is a striking example of cubist abstraction, filled with energy, colour, and bold geometry. The composition is dominated by an abstracted figure-like form constructed from overlapping arcs, angular planes, and circular motifs. Vibrant blues and golden yellows contrast dramatically with a rich red background, creating a sense of tension and vitality. Elements such as columns, spheres, and mechanical-like structures emerge from the interlocking shapes, suggesting a hybrid of figure, architecture, and machine.
Nicod’s approach to Cubism in this piece goes beyond simple fragmentation, instead building a theatrical, almost sculptural composition. The interplay of forms and saturated tones gives the work both depth and movement, drawing the eye in a circular rhythm across the page. While abstract, the suggestion of a central figure gives the painting a powerful presence, evoking themes of modernity, energy, and transformation. The bold palette of red, blue, yellow, and green further enhances its impact, making it a commanding decorative work as well as a sophisticated study in form.
For collectors, this piece offers excellent keyword-rich subject matter: cubist abstract figure, geometric design, red background, blue and gold forms, and mid century French gouache. It demonstrates Nicod’s ability to merge abstraction with symbolism, producing art that is both visually striking and conceptually engaging. Presented unframed, the work is ready for bespoke mounting and framing that will highlight its dramatic colour contrasts and architectural energy.
