Roland-Garros 1987 magnet by Gérard Titus-CARMEL

The 1987 official Roland-Garros poster, signed by Gérard Titus-Carmel, embodies the spirit of the tournament through a composition rich in collages, layers, and painted additions. The artist extracts the iconic elements of the game one by one—clay, white lines, backcourt tarps, net, and racket—to assemble them into an impressionist mosaic. This unique creative process gives rise to a work where every detail symbolizes Roland-Garros, restoring the chromatic and luminous atmosphere of the center court. By squinting, one perceives all the magic of the tournament, suspended between visual poetry and double language: that of the written word, which tells an endless story, and that of light, which captivates the spectator. This 1987 poster is an invitation to daydreaming and contemplation, celebrating the meeting of contemporary art and sport.
