Title: Vibrant Abstract Expressionist Colour Field French Modernist Gouache
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 19.75 x 24.25 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: Good overall with light handling marks and some minor wear to the edges consistent with age.
Description:
This striking gouache by Guy Nicod is a powerful example of mid-century abstract expressionism, composed from dramatic blocks of colour, sweeping shapes, and layered brushwork. Rather than depicting a traditional still life or interior, the piece embraces pure abstraction, allowing vibrant hues and energetic forms to become the subject themselves. Deep reds, bright yellows, emerald greens, cobalt blue, and soft greys interact across the paper in a dynamic composition full of movement and visual tension.
Nicod’s brushwork ranges from controlled, angular strokes to looser, more expressive marks, creating contrasts in texture and rhythm. The interplay of colour fields suggests shifting landscapes, fragmented figures, or emotional states, inviting a wide range of interpretations from the viewer. The curved central green form appears almost sculptural, while nearby shapes in red, yellow, and blue create a sense of depth and layered dimensionality. A single red dot within a white triangular form adds a focal point of intrigue.
The gouache medium enhances the opacity and richness of the pigments, allowing colours to sit boldly against one another while still retaining areas of softness and transparency. Collectors drawn to vibrant colour palettes, modernist abstraction, or expressive, gestural painting will find this work especially appealing.
Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, this composition showcases Nicod’s confident command of colour and abstract form, embodying the spirit of 20th-century European modernism and the emotional freedom of the abstract expressionist movement.
