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 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. Through the use of 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 consciously decided to paint the outlines manually to make them appear softer and more lively. 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 subject 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 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 created each year for the tennis tournament at Roland Garros.
