Description:
A striking and complex modernist still life by French painter Guy Nicod, this richly layered gouache on paper reveals the artist’s fascination with light, reflection, and form. The composition centres on a tabletop arrangement of domestic objects—a green cup, amber jug, and round lampshade or glass dome—arranged against a deep, moody background of indigo, umber, and crimson. Beneath the main grouping, a smaller vignette of fruit, garlic bulbs, and a dish adds texture and warmth, grounding the composition in a sense of everyday intimacy.
Nicod’s expressive brushwork and glowing colour palette are hallmarks of his post-war French modernist style. Vivid yellows, reds, and turquoise tones illuminate the darker backdrop, creating an almost theatrical play of light reminiscent of Georges Braque’s late still lifes and the decorative vitality of École de Paris painting. Each object seems to shimmer between abstraction and realism, transformed by Nicod’s intuitive approach to structure and depth.
Collectors of 20th-century French modernism, interior still lifes, or gouache paintings with bold colour will find this work particularly appealing. Its vertical composition and radiant tonal contrasts make it a dynamic statement piece for contemporary interiors, balancing drama with painterly sensitivity.
Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, this piece embodies Nicod’s enduring ability to find rhythm, harmony, and energy in the simple arrangement of objects, light, and shadow, making it a fine example of mid-century French modernist art.
