JR Designs the Roland-Garros 2026 Poster

JR signe l’affiche de Roland-Garros 2026

The French artist JR has been commissioned to create the official poster for the 2026 Roland-Garros tennis tournament. His design blends photography with an illusionistic device, transforming the tennis court into an expanded, almost architectural space, aiming to give the sporting event a more contemporary visual dimension.

This commission continues Roland-Garros's long-standing tradition of entrusting its annual visual communication to a major artist, thereby renewing its graphic identity and bridging the worlds of high-profile sport and contemporary art. It highlights the role of artists in shaping the cultural aura of major international events.
