Title: Abstract Sunflowers Still Life French Modernist Gouache Painting
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 19.75 x 24.25 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: Good overall. Light handling marks and minor creases around the edges, consistent with age; slight curling to paper.
Description:
This bold and atmospheric gouache by Guy Nicod presents an expressive and abstracted interpretation of sunflowers, rendered with dramatic colour contrasts and strong gestural brushwork. The composition features several large sunflower heads, their dark circular centres surrounded by muted yellow halos. The flowers rise from tall green stems with heavy, drooping leaves, creating a sense of movement and natural rhythm across the picture plane.
Set against a striking backdrop of golden yellow, deep black, rich purple, and warm ochre tones, the sunflowers appear almost sculptural in their presence. The bold colour blocks echo mid-century modernist influences, while the loose, textured application of gouache gives the petals and foliage a velvety, tactile quality. A bright yellow lemon placed on a dark table in the foreground adds an intriguing still-life element, introducing a moment of contrast and anchoring the composition.
Nicod captures not just the form but the emotional character of sunflowers: their weight, their grace as they tilt and bend, and their dramatic silhouettes. The painting resonates with echoes of European modernist floral traditions while maintaining Nicod’s distinctive abstract language.
This work will appeal to collectors interested in sunflower paintings, floral still lifes, modernist botanical art, expressive abstraction, and bold mid-century colour palettes. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, it stands as a powerful example of Nicod’s ability to merge natural subjects with energetic, contemporary abstraction.
