About the Item

Title: Cubist French Abstract Composition With Geometric Shapes Circles And Colour Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021) Gouache on artist paper, unframed Size: 26.25 x 19.25 inches (height x width) Provenance: Artists estate, France Condition: good overall with light age wear; faint red mark lower margin of sheet, there is a small tear near the top right corner Description: This bold cubist-inspired gouache by French modernist Guy Nicod explodes with colour, energy, and interlocking geometric forms. The composition is alive with circular motifs, angular constructions, and dynamic diagonals. A large red-and-grey cog-like form dominates the upper section, paired with concentric circular elements and vibrant triangular structures. To the lower half, stacked yellow blocks, sweeping arcs, and striped red-and-blue bands add rhythm and complexity, creating an almost mechanical yet lyrical visual field. Nicod’s handling of gouache emphasises sharp contrasts and strong edges, with saturated reds, yellows, blues, and greens set against a muted golden ground. The result is both highly decorative and deeply rooted in mid century modernist abstraction, recalling the influence of Cubism, Futurism, and the Parisian avant-garde. While entirely abstract, the composition suggests associations with machinery, architecture, and cosmology, giving the work layers of interpretation. For collectors, the painting offers rich SEO-driven subject keywords: cubist abstract composition, geometric forms, circular motifs, stacked cubes, bold colours, and French gouache. It exemplifies Nicod’s talent for merging structural abstraction with decorative vibrancy, making it ideal for both serious modern art collections and statement interior design. The palette and composition create strong wall presence, inviting repeated viewing and interpretation. Unframed, the work is ready for mounting and display to enhance its architectural lines and radiant colour.
