Description:
This striking gouache by French modernist artist Guy Nicod presents a richly layered cubist still life filled with bold colour and dynamic geometry. At the centre, an assortment of fruit, vessels, and sculptural forms are arranged in a fractured yet harmonious composition. A yellow bowl containing lemons rests in the foreground, while a dramatic red-and-black striped orb and angular vessels rise from the tabletop. A cone-like container brims with bright red berries, its form intersected by lines and diagonals that draw the eye upward. In the background, surreal details emerge: a stylised human figure, architectural arches, and a landscape with trees and sky rendered in crisp blue and green planes.
Nicod’s use of gouache enhances the luminous contrasts and graphic sharpness of the work, with saturated yellows, reds, and blues interlocking against earthier tones. The composition merges Cubist fragmentation with the theatrical imagination of mid century modernism, making it both intellectually engaging and visually decorative. The still life genre is reimagined here as a dynamic interplay of abstraction, symbolism, and structure, where fruit, vases, and natural motifs coexist with surrealist flourishes.
For collectors, this painting offers both versatility and decorative strength, with search-friendly keywords including still life, fruit, vase, bowl, geometric forms, and cubist gouache. Ideal for those drawn to the boldness of mid century French art, it carries the hallmarks of Nicod’s style: rhythmic geometry, vibrant colour, and a balance of abstraction with recognisable subject matter. Presented unframed, the piece is ready to be mounted and displayed to highlight its modernist energy.
