Paintings by LeRoi at the New Gallery at 1120 Main Street

A new art exhibit space opens tonight with a show by a self-taught symbolist/surrealist artist who signs his work with one name, LeRoi. The exhibit space is a project of John Fatta, in his building at 1120 Main Street, just south of the corner of Main and Summer. Inessential but interesting information about the artist is that he is the brother of the late rock star Rick James.
