About the Item

Title: Artist Studio Interior with Easels Portraits and Painting Tools French Modernist Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021) Gouache on artist paper, unframed Size: 19.75 x 24 inches (height x width) Provenance: Artists estate, France Condition: Good overall condition with light handling marks, slight edge wear, and minor creasing to corners consistent with age. No tears or structural damage. Colours remain strong and well preserved. Description: This expressive and colour-rich gouache by Guy Nicod offers a vivid glimpse into an artist’s studio environment, rendered with the bold abstraction and gestural energy characteristic of his modernist style. The composition centres around two easels, each holding what appear to be portrait studies — one featuring a bright yellow face with a warm, enigmatic expression, and another showing a more abstract figure on a tilted canvas. These studio elements create an engaging narrative, inviting the viewer into a space of creativity, experimentation, and artistic play. Around the easels, Nicod arranges an assortment of painting tools, including brushes fanned out in a jug, wooden stools, coloured papers, and scattered studio materials. The turquoise ground creates a dynamic base, while strong passages of crimson, purple, and ochre give the background an energetic push that enhances the sense of movement within the room. Nicod’s brushwork — loose, layered, and instinctive — transforms the studio into a lively abstract interior, where objects oscillate between representation and expressive colour fields. The yellow guitar-like shape at the lower right adds another unexpected note of whimsy, contributing to the playful, imaginative atmosphere. This piece is especially appealing to collectors drawn to art-about-art, studio scenes, and compositions that highlight the creative process itself. It offers a richly textured look into Nicod’s interest in capturing not just objects, but the lived space of painting — full of colour, invention, and emotional warmth. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation.
