Description:
This vibrant gouache by Guy Nicod depicts an expressive tabletop still life arranged on a rich green table, rendered with the bold abstraction and gestural brushwork characteristic of the artist’s mid-century modernist style. At the centre of the composition stand several small vases filled with flowers, their yellow-white petals emerging brightly against a cool background of teal, sage, and soft grey. These floral elements create lively vertical accents and serve as visual anchors within the otherwise fluid arrangement.
To the left, Nicod includes a clearly defined folded newspaper, its printed lettering and angled structure adding a graphic contrast to the organic forms nearby. The newspaper introduces a sense of everyday domestic life — a recurring theme in Nicod’s oeuvre — while also helping to stabilise the composition through its sharp lines and geometric folds.
Scattered touches of red throughout the piece suggest fallen petals, decorative fragments, or marks of movement, adding rhythm and drawing the viewer’s eye across the canvas. Subtle hints of jars, bottles, and tabletop objects appear as layered strokes overlap, showing Nicod’s interest in leaving forms partially implied rather than fully described.
The interplay of greens, blues, whites, and earthy neutrals creates a refreshing, harmonious atmosphere, while the expressive handling of paint adds energy and depth. Perfect for collectors of French modernism, abstract floral still lifes, and domestic interior compositions, this work captures Nicod’s ability to elevate simple everyday arrangements into dynamic, colour-rich abstractions. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation.
