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. In addition to New York, he lives and works in Barcelona and Munich. In 2007, Sean Scully was appointed 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 employing different techniques and materials, Sean Scully creatively engages with minimalist motifs. While in his early works he used tape to create precise edges, in the 1980s he moved away from this method. At that time he deliberately chose to paint the outlines by hand so that they appear softer and livelier. 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. They all resemble each other in motif and composition. His photographic works also deal with geometric forms, capturing individual façades, 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 length.
About the artwork:
Roland Garros is the traditional home of the Internationaux de France, the tennis tournament is worldwide better known as the French Open. This is one of the official posters that were designed and produced each year for the tennis tournament at Roland Garros.
