Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)

Description:
A bold and lyrical modern still life by Guy Nicod, painted in gouache on paper with the expressive energy characteristic of his mature work. This striking composition depicts an arrangement of flowers in glass vases, flanked by draped fabrics in deep crimson, turquoise, and lilac tones. A central purple vessel anchors the composition, its curved form offset by angular shapes and rhythmic strokes of green and red.
Nicod’s command of gouache is evident in the rich layering and painterly texture, combining both translucent washes and opaque, impasto-like passages. The scene is simultaneously structured and free-flowing, with the folds of cloth and stems of gladioli rendered through gestural marks rather than strict outline. The resulting image vibrates with colour, light, and movement — transforming a traditional still life into a near-abstract symphony of forms.
A testament to Nicod’s connection to French post-war modernism, this work recalls the expressive freedom of artists such as Nicolas de Staël and Serge Poliakoff, while maintaining a distinctly personal rhythm. The interplay of saturated hues and strong compositional geometry reflects the artist’s fascination with balance, energy, and emotional resonance.
From the artist’s estate in France, this unframed gouache painting exemplifies Nicod’s sensitivity to both structure and spontaneity. A visually rich and harmonious work, it makes a striking statement for collectors of modern French art and colour-led abstraction.
