Description:
This striking gouache cityscape by Guy Nicod captures the vibrant energy of a Mediterranean or North African urban scene, blending natural foliage with crisp, geometric architecture. From a shaded foreground of dark green and golden trees, the viewer looks across a lively townscape of pale stucco buildings, palm trees, and brightly coloured rooftops. Beyond rise taller modernist apartment blocks, their shapes softened by Nicod’s fluid brushwork and diffused washes of colour.
Nicod’s handling of the composition is dynamic: the strong vertical tree trunks frame the view like a proscenium, while vivid areas of ochre, purple, and rust in the foreground create rhythm and movement. The palette evokes sunlit afternoons, where dappled shadows contrast with the brightness of painted walls and terracotta roofs. This layering of architectural order with natural greenery is typical of Nicod’s practice, where balance between structure and spontaneity defines his style.
As a work on paper, this piece holds great decorative and collector’s appeal. Its subject matter resonates with those interested in 20th-century French modernism, post-war architectural scenes, and urban landscapes seen through an artist’s eye. With its combination of lush plant forms and clean modernist buildings, it brings warmth and atmosphere to interiors, whether hung as part of a grouping of works on paper or mounted as a single statement artwork.
For collectors seeking distinctive French gouache, this Nicod cityscape offers both freshness and sophistication, a testament to his ability to translate ordinary views into expressive modern compositions.
