Description:
A captivating modernist still life by Guy Nicod, this large-scale gouache on paper exemplifies the artist’s bold and expressive use of colour, form, and abstraction. Set against a richly layered background of deep greens, turquoise, and indigo, the composition centres around a terracotta-toned vessel—possibly a teapot or jug—flanked by twisting ropes, green spherical shapes, and folds of rose-pink and mauve fabric. The result is a complex interplay of texture, light, and geometry, rendered with Nicod’s signature confidence and rhythmic energy.
The artist’s distinctive post-Cubist approach transforms traditional still life elements into an abstract choreography of planes and hues. The ochre ropes sweep across the composition like organic tendrils, connecting the objects in a visual dance that feels both structured and spontaneous. Subtle transitions between opaque and translucent paint applications demonstrate Nicod’s command of gouache, allowing for both density and fluidity in equal measure.
The balance of warm reds, yellows, and pinks against cooler greens and blues lends the work an atmospheric depth that recalls mid-century Parisian modernism. Collectors drawn to abstract still life, French post-war painting, or interior-focused compositions will find this piece particularly compelling. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, it makes a dynamic statement within any modern or eclectic space, encapsulating the vivid, tactile, and architectural qualities that define Nicod’s celebrated body of work.
