Rollers (vol.3)

In Rollers (vol. 3), Virginie Horens revisits the world of 1970s roller disco with energy and elegance. A seated skater, crowned by a striking afro, adopts a relaxed and almost meditative pose. The stillness of her attitude contrasts with the movement usually associated with roller skating, creating a subtle tension between pause and momentum.
Bold white outlines structure the figure and give her the graphic impact of an illustration. Her orange outfit, striped socks and roller skates extend the distinctly retro character of the scene. Around her, geometric arches unfold in a palette of turquoise, deep blue, burgundy, red, orange and beige. Their repetition creates a strong visual rhythm, recalling both roller-disco floors and the psychedelic design language of the period.
Measuring 116 × 81 cm, the painting’s vertical format gives it an assured presence. Radiant, graphic and contemplative, *Rollers (vol. 3)* will appeal to collectors drawn to Pop Art, 1970s culture and contemporary representations of confident, independent femininity.
