Description:
This richly layered gouache by Guy Nicod presents an abstract still life characterised by looping forms, dynamic colour contrasts, and the expressive brushwork typical of his mid-century modernist style. At the centre of the composition stands a tall green bottle, a recurring motif in Nicod’s studio paintings. It is surrounded by sweeping rope- or hose-like loops that curve fluidly throughout the scene, introducing a sense of rhythm and energy that guides the viewer’s eye.
Behind the bottle, vivid blocks of white, yellow, and deep red fabric intersect with one another, creating an architectural backdrop of draped cloth and angular folds. Warm ochre and golden tones dominate the foreground, blending into cooler greys and greens at the edges. The painterly interplay between warm and cool areas gives the piece a sense of depth and atmosphere, while the swirling lines evoke movement and gesture.
Nicod’s approach blurs the line between representation and abstraction. While recognisable elements—a bottle, fabric, coiled rope, perhaps even glimpses of wooden supports or studio props—form the basis of the composition, they dissolve into bold brushstrokes and expressive colour fields. The result is a vibrant, emotional interpretation of a studio still life rather than a literal depiction.
Collectors drawn to French modernism, abstract expressionist still life, and works exploring sculptural studio objects will find this painting particularly compelling. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, it captures Nicod’s vivid command of colour and his ability to transform everyday materials into dynamic visual statements.
