Description:
A bold and energetic modernist still life by French painter Guy Nicod, this work plunges the viewer into a lively studio scene rendered in expressive blocks of red, yellow, blue, black, and white. Nicod’s vigorous brushwork and confident handling of gouache on paper create a dynamic arrangement that reads as a tabletop or workshop tableau: a tripod lamp with a circular reflector, striped forms recalling a film clapperboard, stacked drawers, and angled panels suggestive of easels or screens. The overlapping planes and graphic contrasts nod to post-war French abstraction, while the recognizable objects keep one foot in still life tradition.
Collectors searching for French modernist still life, abstract studio interior, or gouache paintings on paper will appreciate the punchy palette and rhythmic composition. The saturated primaries pop against passages of smoky grey and deep ultramarine, giving the piece strong wall presence and making it ideal for contemporary interiors, creative workspaces, or gallery walls that favour colour-driven modern art. As with many of Nicod’s works, the painting balances spontaneity with structure—angular shapes interlock like set pieces, conjuring the atmosphere of a film or photography studio with tools, lights, and screens caught mid-production.
Ready to frame to taste, this French modernist gouache is a striking choice for buyers seeking a vibrant abstract still life, studio themed artwork, or a distinctive mid to late 20th century piece with cinematic flair.
