Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)

Description:
A striking modernist still life by French painter Guy Nicod, this vibrant gouache on paper presents a beautifully balanced composition of garlic bulbs, strawberries, and draped white cloths arranged on a deep blue and terracotta backdrop. The scene appears to depict an artist’s studio setup, with vases, jars, and folded fabric forming a rhythmic structure that contrasts texture and tone. The luminous whites of the drapery highlight the rich reds of the fruit, while the cool ultramarine background gives the work a sense of depth and stillness.
Nicod’s confident use of colour and expressive brushwork exemplify the post-war French modernist tradition. His layered application of gouache creates both opacity and brilliance, allowing the reds and blues to vibrate against one another. The organic forms of the strawberries and garlic soften the geometry of the composition, adding a touch of domestic intimacy to the otherwise formal arrangement.
Collectors of French modernist still life, food-themed interiors, or mid-century gouache paintings will find this work particularly appealing for its bold design and striking chromatic harmony. The interplay of white fabric, red fruit, and cobalt tones gives the piece an elegant theatricality—at once everyday and poetic.
Unframed and ready for custom presentation, this 20th-century French gouache is a superb example of Nicod’s mastery of colour and form, transforming a simple tabletop arrangement into a richly expressive modernist composition full of warmth and vitality.
