Description:
This remarkable gouache by French modernist Guy Nicod blends Cubist abstraction with surreal architectural fantasy, creating a composition that feels at once futuristic and symbolic. Two monumental domed structures dominate the scene, their curved forms rendered in bold, faceted planes of ochre, blue, and red. Between them, angular stairways, arches, and geometric frameworks suggest a city of imagination—an invented landscape that straddles dream and reality.
Nicod’s vibrant palette enhances the sense of drama. Golden yellows and deep reds contrast with cooler blues and greens, while architectural forms dissolve into abstract rhythms of line and colour. A serpent-like form coils through the left-hand side, adding a mythological undertone, while the symmetry of the central domes conveys a sense of order amidst the painterly dynamism. The background, painted in rich teal, sets the fantastical structures apart as otherworldly monuments.
This work highlights Nicod’s ability to combine modernist aesthetics with narrative and symbolic resonance. While firmly grounded in Cubist techniques, it gestures toward Surrealism and metaphysical painting, evoking timeless themes of architecture, myth, and human imagination. Collectors of French modernism, Cubist compositions, and visionary architectural art will find this a striking and unusual piece within Nicod’s oeuvre.
