Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)

Description:
A richly textured and energetic French modernist still life by Guy Nicod, this expressive gouache on paper presents a vivid tabletop arrangement alive with colour and form. The composition features lemons, chestnuts, and a yellow jug, partially draped in white cloths that evoke both domestic familiarity and abstract design. Nicod’s confident use of opaque gouache gives the scene a sculptural depth, balancing earthy browns and greys against vibrant accents of yellow, green, and red.
Through bold, gestural brushwork and dynamic composition, Nicod transforms a simple kitchen tableau into a rhythmic exploration of shape and colour. The clustered fruit and vessels appear to shift and shimmer, revealing his Cubist-influenced fascination with multiple perspectives. Subtle structural diagonals and tonal contrasts create a sense of movement and warmth, while his layered handling of paint lends texture and vitality to every surface.
This work exemplifies Nicod’s post-war modernist sensibility, where still life becomes a stage for experimentation and harmony between abstraction and observation. Collectors of mid-century French art, colourist painting, or modern interiors will find this piece a compelling addition, offering both visual complexity and painterly charm. Unframed and ready for bespoke mounting, this original gouache encapsulates Nicod’s artistic mastery—his ability to find lyricism and rhythm within the quiet theatre of everyday objects.
