Roland-Garros 2014 magnet by Juan USLE

The official 2014 Roland-Garros poster, created by Spanish artist Juan Uslé, is distinguished by a symbolic and colorful composition. Three distinct bubbles, each in a bright color, represent the net, the ball, and the clay—essential elements of tennis. Through this work, Uslé evokes the heroic duels of Greco-Roman antiquity, while emphasizing the civilized and codified nature of modern tennis: "The players confront each other but they are separated. They do not strike or hit each other directly. Everyone is civilized: the human being keeps the animal inside locked away...," the artist explains. The poster thus contrasts the dramatic intensity of the matches with a calm visual atmosphere, embodying both the passion of the fight and the self-control characteristic of Roland-Garros.
