Description:
This striking modernist still life by Guy Nicod is a vivid exploration of colour, light, and domestic atmosphere, painted in richly expressive gouache. The composition centres on a rhythmic arrangement of green glass bottles, their elongated necks rising against a backdrop of deep indigo and ultramarine. These darker tones are offset by bold passages of bright green and chartreuse, where Nicod appears to depict fresh leeks or spring onions, their pale stems catching the light and creating a dynamic counterpoint to the heavier forms below.
A sense of interior architecture emerges through blocks of blue and lime, suggesting windows, tabletops, and the glow of natural light filtering through a room. The bottles — some upright, some clustered together — introduce a sense of ritual and quotidian familiarity, while the surrounding vegetables and greenery infuse the scene with freshness and movement. Nicod’s characteristic brushwork is confident and gestural, using thick strokes of gouache to build texture and emphasise the tonal contrasts that define the arrangement.
Although the objects are recognisable, Nicod’s approach leans into abstraction, dissolving boundaries between figure and background. The result is a spirited, contemporary still life that feels both domestic and sculptural, ideal for collectors drawn to French mid-century modernism, bottle still lifes, kitchen interiors, or expressive gouache work.
Unframed and full of vibrant colour, this piece perfectly embodies Nicod’s distinctive visual language — a blend of structure, spontaneity, and painterly energy that elevates everyday objects into compelling modernist forms.
