“Roller Skater” by André Wallace, 2010
Moreton Street, Pimlico
London, September 2015
“It makes a change from skateboarding youths. On the corner of Moreton Street and Vauxhall Bridge Road in Pimlico, six-year-old Beth Tsang welcomes the cool new girl in town — a sculpted roller skater more than six feet tall. The artist, 63, based in Bromley-by-Bow, said: ‘I wanted to make a sculpture that would be positive and dynamic and reflect the youth and vitality of an urban street.’ André Wallace's work was commissioned six years ago as part of a residential development but was held up by the changing fortunes of the housing market.” (Roller skate sculpture rolls with it in Pimlico, Evening Standard)

Interesting that the artist chose to put this on a bench. Nicely done!
