After completing his art studies in London, he moved to New York in 1975. He lives and works in New York, as well as 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, he moved away from this method in the 1980s. At that time he consciously chose to paint the outlines by hand so they would 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. 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” 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 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.
