Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)

Description:
This bold and atmospheric still life by Guy Nicod presents an abstracted arrangement of cherries, berries, silver trays, and a circular plate, transforming everyday kitchen objects into a vibrant modernist tableau. Executed in gouache on paper, the composition centres around several clear plastic punnets overflowing with bright red fruit. These are positioned alongside reflective silver trays, angled dramatically to catch light and contribute geometric structure to the scene.
A large circular plate sits near the bottom of the composition, its surface partially covered with scattered cherries that spill forward in a dynamic burst of colour. On the left, a tall glass filled with berries adds vertical emphasis, while a striking red cloth draped near the top provides a vivid, sculptural counterpoint. Planes of turquoise blue, deep black, pastel grey, and warm yellow create an expressive backdrop, heightening the contrast between the fruit, containers, and metallic tray surfaces.
Nicod’s use of gouache intensifies the richness of the reds and the opacity of the greys and silvers, giving the reflective objects a distinctive weight and texture. The result is a piece that feels simultaneously domestic and dramatic — blending the familiarity of kitchen still lifes with the bold abstraction characteristic of mid-century French modernism.
Perfect for collectors who appreciate fruit still lifes, reflective surfaces, dining-themed art, or expressive abstract compositions, this work highlights Nicod’s unique ability to elevate ordinary objects into complex, visually striking arrangements. Unframed and ready for custom presentation.
