About the artist:

Sean Scully was born in 1945 in Dublin. After completing his art studies in London, he moved to New York in 1975. Besides New York, he also lives and works in Barcelona and Munich. In 2007, Sean Scully was appointed as a lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Sean Scully’s works are based on an artistic handling of vertical and horizontal color stripes and rectangles. By using different techniques and materials, Sean Scully creatively engages with minimalist motifs. While in his early works he used tape to create precise edges, he moved away from this method in the 1980s. At that time he consciously decided to hand-paint the contours so they would appear softer and more vibrant. Brushwork and application are clearly visible, and a dark, earthy color palette characterizes most of his paintings. In addition, Sean Scully also creates etchings, lithographs, pastels and watercolors. All of them resemble each other in motif and composition. His photographic works also deal with geometric forms, capturing individual facades, doors, windows and brick walls. In the 1990s, the series “Floating Paintings” also emerged, consisting of rectangular aluminum blocks painted with stripes and hung along the long side.

About the artwork:

Roland Garros is the traditional home of the annually conducted Internationaux de France; the tennis tournament is better known worldwide as the French Open. This is one of the official posters that were designed and created each year for the tennis tournament at Roland Garros.
