Roland-Garros 2011 magnet by Barthélémy TOGUO

The official 2011 Roland-Garros poster, created by the Franco-Cameroonian artist Barthélémy Toguo, places nature at the heart of the tournament’s artistic creation. The artist, deeply committed to the ecological cause, imagines a trophy tree whose branches transform into racket handles and whose fruits turn into tennis balls, all set against a grid background reminiscent of the court net[1][4]. The vibrant red of the "Roland Garros 2011" signature evokes the clay from which this tree, a symbol of life and vitality, springs forth. The watercolor, rendered in three different shades of green, presents an atypical and poetic silhouette that touches both the soul and the conscience of the spectator. This poster, a true ode to nature and diversity, reflects Barthélémy Toguo’s commitment to ecology and the universal dimension of sport, and marks the first participation of an African artist in the official Roland-Garros collection[6].
