About the artist: Jean-Michel Meurice, born 1938 in Lille, developed as a student at the École des Beaux-Arts in Tournai a double passion for painting and cinema. In 1960, during his military service in Algeria, he created one of his first works, which combined his two passions: a three-hundred-meter-long painted film whose subject consists solely of the repeated traces of fingers and brushes; projected onto a canvas, it becomes a moving painting of ten minutes in duration. Since then he has pursued a double career as painter and filmmaker. In 1963 he travelled to the USA for the first time, where he discovered a codes-free painting, the abstraction of Ad Reinhardt and the dripping and all-over processes that made Pollock famous. He painted with spray cans or sponges, repeating shapes (stripes or dots) on large formats. The traditional canvas was often replaced by plastic films or other unconventional supports. In 1966 he exhibited in Paris with Hantaï, Degottex, Buraglio, Parmentier and Rouan at Jean Fournier and was one of the co-founders of the Support/Surface movement. Four of his “Pénélaopes” are in the collections of the Centre Georges Pompidou, and he designed the ceiling in the Musée Picasso in Antibes. He was awarded the Grand Prix National in 1992 for his body of work. His works have been shown all over the world (Centre National des Arts Plastiques Paris, Musée d'Art moderne de Saint-Étienne, Musée Fabre, Fondation Maeght, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lille, Hermitage, Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume, Rio de Janeiro Museum, Madrid Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo Museum of Contemporary Art, etc.). About the artwork: Roland Garros is the traditional home of the Internationaux de France held annually; 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.
