Description:
A dynamic and richly textured French modernist still life by Guy Nicod, this original gouache on paper captures a vivid maritime scene filled with movement, rhythm, and bold colour. The composition depicts an arrangement of hanging fish, seashells, and fishing nets, rendered through expressive brushwork and a sophisticated interplay of blue, yellow, and earthy tones. Divided between a bright turquoise left half and a pale, textured right half, the painting evokes both sea and shore—blending abstraction with hints of narrative and place.
Nicod’s confident application of gouache allows light and shadow to emerge from his gestural strokes, suggesting depth and energy within the layered composition. The twisting rope framing the upper edge gives a sense of tension and flow, while the clustered shells and marine forms below recall the abundance of coastal life. Drawing upon Cubist and Fauvist influences, Nicod uses compositional geometry and radiant colour to reinterpret traditional still life through a distinctly mid-century modern lens.
This work perfectly embodies Nicod’s fascination with everyday objects transformed through abstraction, making it ideal for collectors of 20th-century French modernism, coastal art, or nautical-themed interiors. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, it stands as a rare and visually arresting example of Nicod’s studio practice—an artwork that bridges the boundaries between the natural and the constructed, the decorative and the abstract.
