Description:
A dynamic and richly textured abstract still life by Guy Nicod, painted in gouache on paper. This bold composition transforms a traditional studio scene into a vibrant field of colour and movement, where fruit, paint tubes, and structural forms merge into rhythmic abstraction.
Nicod’s confident handling of gouache gives this piece remarkable vitality. Swathes of cobalt, ochre, crimson, and slate grey interlock with bursts of orange and gold, suggesting both objects and gestures in motion. The interplay between the geometric and organic forms evokes the tension between order and spontaneity—a hallmark of Nicod’s mature style.
Although rooted in still life, the composition borders on pure abstraction, recalling the expressive modernism of artists such as Serge Poliakoff and André Lanskoy. The angled brushstrokes and layered chromatic contrasts create a sense of energy that feels both deliberate and instinctive.
From the artist’s estate in France, this unframed gouache exemplifies Nicod’s mastery of structural colour and visual rhythm. The work captures the physicality of painting itself—an homage to the studio and the act of creation—rendered with an unmistakably modern sensibility.
A superb example of Nicod’s late modernist vision, this piece would sit beautifully within a contemporary interior or modern art collection, bridging abstraction and the tactile material world.
