Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Oil on artist paper, unframed

Description:
This striking modernist oil painting by French artist Guy Nicod captures a reclining nude rendered in bold geometric forms and pure, saturated colour. The composition features a figure stretched across a vivid red surface against a deep ultramarine blue ground, accented with blocks of yellow, pink, and orange that create an arresting visual rhythm. The simplified, almost sculptural anatomy transforms the nude into a study of shape, balance, and abstraction—an approach that reflects the mid-century fascination with form and colour over realism.
Nicod’s thick, expressive brushwork and vibrant palette infuse the piece with warmth and energy, recalling the influence of artists such as Henri Matisse and Fernand Léger. The dynamic interplay between figure and background creates a sense of harmony and calm, while the flattened perspective lends the work a graphic, contemporary edge.
Painted in oil on artist paper, this unframed work embodies the freedom and experimentation that defined Nicod’s post-war practice. His ability to merge human sensuality with modernist design principles gives the piece both intimacy and strength.
Ideal for collectors of 20th-century French art or anyone drawn to colourful abstract nudes, this painting adds a confident burst of modern energy to any space. From the artist’s estate in France, it is an excellent example of Nicod’s distinctive use of chromatic structure and emotional simplicity—an elegant, timeless interpretation of the reclining nude that bridges tradition and abstraction with poetic clarity.
