Description:
This vivid and characterful gouache by Guy Nicod presents an imaginative still life built around a wooden hat stand adorned with colourful umbrellas, draped fabrics, and studio vessels. Standing at the centre of the composition, the hat stand rises like a sculptural figure, its umbrella hooks supporting angular shapes of yellow, green, red, and blue that read unmistakably as folded or partially open umbrellas. This unusual subject injects movement and whimsy into the scene, offering a rare take on modernist interior arrangement.
Surrounding the stand, Nicod layers dramatic swathes of red, purple, teal, and black drapery, creating a theatre-like backdrop that intensifies the vibrancy of the umbrellas. At the base of the composition, a white jug and deep blue bottle sit on a glowing field of red and turquoise, grounding the otherwise dynamic vertical forms.
Nicod’s brushwork is bold and intuitive, blending abstraction with identifiable objects. His colour palette — bright, saturated, and full of contrast — heightens the sense of rhythm and visual complexity. The umbrellas, with their sharp geometric forms and luminous hues, stand out as focal points, their shapes interacting with the flowing fabrics around them.
This piece appeals strongly to collectors of French modernism, interior object still lifes, and artworks with unusual or symbolic domestic elements. Hat stands and umbrellas are rare subjects in 20th-century painting, making this a particularly distinctive example of Nicod’s inventive approach to everyday studio settings. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, it is a bold and memorable work.
