Description:
A bold and expressive still life by French modernist painter Guy Nicod, painted in oil on paper and filled with energy, texture, and rich tonal contrast. The composition depicts an interior arrangement of draped fabrics, bottles, vases, and a picture frame—an evocative glimpse into the artist’s studio world. Nicod’s use of saturated reds, turquoise blues, golden yellows, and deep purples creates a dynamic interplay of shape and rhythm, while his confident brushwork captures both structure and spontaneity.
The drapery cascades through the scene like stage curtains, framing a series of still life objects that seem to pulse with colour. Bottles and ceramics emerge from layers of shadow, while a leaning framed painting introduces a self-referential dialogue about art within art—a recurring motif in Nicod’s work. The surface texture, created through assertive impasto and layered colour, reveals Nicod’s painterly command and modernist sensibility.
Rooted in post-war French art, Nicod’s approach bridges Fauvist colour and Cubist construction, exploring harmony through contrast and composition through gesture. This work showcases his ability to turn a simple studio setup into a vibrant meditation on form, tone, and perception.
From the artist’s estate in France, this unframed oil on paper exemplifies Nicod’s distinctive modern style—rich, tactile, and visually compelling. Ideal for collectors of 20th-century French art, it’s a masterclass in balance between expressive freedom and compositional precision.
