Description:
This bold and expressive gouache by Guy Nicod exemplifies the artist’s ability to transform everyday studio materials into dynamic, abstract modernist compositions. At the centre of the painting stands a tall green bottle, its deep forest tones cutting sharply through the vibrant fields of yellow, red, orange, and muted grey that surround it. The bottle becomes the anchor within a swirling environment of draped fabrics, angular forms, and rhythmic flowing lines.
Nicod skilfully layers broad, textured brushstrokes to create a sense of movement and depth. A striking patch of rich crimson fabric spreads diagonally across the middle ground, contrasting vividly with the cool blue-grey folds behind it. Warm ochre and burnt sienna tones dominate the edges, lending the work an earthy grounding that balances the more energetic gestures of colour.
The looping circular form at the upper left — likely a hoop, rope, or hanging studio object — introduces an intriguing sculptural motif that recurs throughout Nicod’s still life interiors. This interplay of identifiable items with near-abstract surrounding shapes is a hallmark of his mid-century French modernist style, where representation and abstraction coexist seamlessly.
Collectors drawn to colour-driven composition, expressive brushwork, and abstracted still life themes will find this piece an especially compelling example of Nicod’s work. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, it embodies the artist’s vibrant instinct for design and his fascination with transforming simple objects into powerful visual forms.
