Description:
A striking and atmospheric still life by Guy Nicod, painted in gouache on paper with rich, expressive colour and confident abstraction. The composition features a dynamic interplay of elongated green stems and vivid blue flowers set against folds of white drapery and deep red background tones. Nicod’s mastery of compositional rhythm and tonal contrast brings a sense of motion and harmony to the piece, transforming the still life into a vibrant study of energy and balance.
Executed with bold, angular brushstrokes, this painting captures the modernist sensibility central to Nicod’s work — fusing structure with spontaneity. The palette is particularly compelling: electric blues and verdant greens play off intense crimsons and cool greys, producing a sense of spatial depth and visual tension. The white folds of cloth introduce moments of calm amid the intensity of colour, guiding the viewer’s eye through the layered arrangement.
Nicod’s gouache works reveal a remarkable ability to translate emotion through colour and geometry. This piece reflects his exploration of abstraction within still life, echoing the expressive influence of French painters such as Estève and Bazaine while retaining his distinctly lyrical style.
From the artist’s estate in France, this unframed gouache painting exemplifies Nicod’s ability to balance precision and painterly freedom. A compelling example of mid-century French modernism, it would make a striking addition to a contemporary collection or modern interior.
