Description:
A vibrant French modernist still life, this large gouache by Guy Nicod stages a bustling kitchen and butcher’s workspace through a Cubist lens. Interlocking planes of saturated colour—cerulean blue, emerald green, brick red, and ochre—build a rhythmic composition filled with culinary detail. At the left, oversized ladles and saucepans hang from a rail above bowls, knives, and a table set with bread and vegetables. The scene pivots around a central figure in blue, likely a chef, whose dynamic pose guides the eye toward the right where cured and freshly dressed meats hang beside chopping blocks, scales, and stacked utensils. Angular forms open out to a glimpse of landscape with a tree and farmhouse, cleverly merging interior and exterior into one continuous, geometric stage.
Nicod’s confident handling of gouache—opaque passages layered with transparent washes—creates depth and luminosity while preserving crisp edges and architectural structure. The subject matter will resonate with collectors of Cubist and post-Cubist painting, kitchen art, food and market scenes, and mid-century French design. It is an ideal statement piece for dining rooms, restaurant interiors, or contemporary homes that favour bold colour and graphic impact. As with Nicod’s best work, the painting balances narrative and abstraction: familiar objects become sculptural forms, movement is suggested by repeating arcs and diagonals, and the lively palette amplifies the heat and theatre of a working kitchen. A compelling example of French modernist gouache with strong decorative presence and rich SEO-friendly keywords including kitchen still life, butcher shop, chef, hanging meats, utensils, and Cubist interior.
