Love to have a role in pictures (2,3)
I believe the answer is:
op art
'pictures' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'love to have a role' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'to have' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a role' becomes 'part' (eg a part or role in a film).
'o'+'part'='OP-ART'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for op art that I've seen before include "abstract works at Tate Modern?" , "Illusory paintings" , "Style of optical illusionism popular in the 1960s" , "Illusory graphic style" , "Illusory abstract form" .)
