About the Item

Title: Abstract Interior with Womens Shoes Colourful French Modernist Gouache Painting Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021) Gouache on artist paper, unframed Size: 19.5 x 24 inches (height x width) Provenance: Artists estate, France Condition: Good overall with light handling marks and faint edge wear consistent with age Description: This richly coloured and visually intricate gouache by Guy Nicod offers a rare and compelling exploration of women’s fashion and interior abstraction. Painted with Nicod’s signature expressive energy, the composition appears to depict an interior space filled with women’s shoes, arranged within a shelving unit or wardrobe-like structure. High heels, sandals, and folded garments emerge through vibrant patches of colour, each rendered with the velvety opacity and immediacy characteristic of gouache. The painting unfolds across a rhythmic grid of compartments, suggesting stacked shoe boxes, boutique displays, or a personal dressing room filled with character and movement. Nicod’s palette—deep purples, vivid blues, rich ochres, and intense reds—creates a dynamic visual harmony, with each section of the composition offering its own interplay of shape, colour, and shadow. While the forms remain semi-abstract, the suggestion of footwear is unmistakable, giving the work strong appeal to collectors drawn to themes of fashion, accessories, retail interiors, and stylised modernist still life. Gouache allows Nicod to build bold blocks of pigment, layered with swift, confident strokes that add depth and texture to the scene. The result is a painting that feels both immediate and structured, combining expressive movement with a sense of curated, intimate space. Ideal for lovers of mid-century French modernism, abstract interiors, or artworks inspired by fashion and personal style, this piece stands out as a vibrant and unusual addition to any contemporary collection. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation.
