Press release:

L'Etranger will be giving voice to the 11th dimension, with the
pre-recorded soundscapes of Robert Fripp, in cities throughout
the world in 2008 and 2009.

"The Death of Paul Amlehn"

At 6:38 PM, on Saturday, the 11th of October, 2008, Paul Francis
Amlehn, committed ritual suicide.

Amlehn's body, the host-vessel, was then readied for the process of
psychic surgery. His corporeal self was subjected to a complex series
of ministrations by his acolytes: his clothing removed, his body
rubbed with fragrant leaves and unguents, incantations uttered over
his lifeless flesh.

All in preparation to receive the entity, a hermaphroditic life-form
from the multiverse, the one known as: L'Etranger.


I AM L'ETRANGER.


I HAVE COME TO COMMUNE WITH YOU

THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF THE HUMAN WORD

THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF SOUND

THE MEDIUM OF IMAGE.


YOU SEE THROUGH MY EYES:


LOST WORLDS SUSPENDED LIKE FRUIT

IN THE SPECTRAL TWILIGHT

METAMORPHOSING

INTO SURE WHITE STAINS THAT PREFIGURE YOUR DEATH.


YOUR HEAR THROUGH MY EARS:


THE JOYFUL ANGUISH

OF CRYSTALLINE RINGING FLESH

ECHOES

FROM A DISTANT FUTURE PAST.

The Leroy Roper Gallery


An artistic icon in the "Deep Ellum" area since 1992, Leroy Roper has seen the rise and fall and rise of one Dallas' historic neighborhoods, and the citys' true Arts District, "Deep Ellum". Mr. Roper is somewhat of a "renaissance man", first a writer (he was an award winning journalist before graduating High school), an artist ( he began drawing at age six, when his older brother Charles put a pencil in his hand and asked him to draw something), a backdrop painter (He has painted backdrops from 9x12 to 20 x 70 feet for films, commercials, corporations and magazine advertisements), a photographer (His photographs of Erykah Badu have been seen internationally), a bodyartist (Articles have been written about Leroy's bodyart and fantasy photography throughout the world), and the publisher of the online magazine "Gothic Vogue", which is now in it's third year of existence.

With a combination of hand-painted backgrounds, painted bodies and photography, Leroy has produced what has become known as The Fantasy Art Of Leroy Roper. The major theme behind Leroy's work is "the empowerment of women".

"There is a character in Greek mythology that carries the weight of the world upon his shoulders, I believe most women accomplish that feat on a daily basis. We ALL came to the earth through the vessel of woman." says Roper, and anyone who has known him over the years has heard that statement repeated often.

Leroy also believes in "Mother Nature" and is a conservationist. Another of his themes and philosophies:

"If we put a human face on nature we will be less likely to destroy the planet."

His main point being, that if we see ourselves in nature, we will not so readily hunt species to extinction or destroy their natural habitats...In doing so, we only destroy ourselves...

"Being a writer by trade, I want all of my images to tell a story...whether it be a drawing, a painting or a photograph"

Mr. Roper has now joined with " eXcuses eXtreme Cafe " to house The Leroy Roper Gallery. The gallery, of course, will be dominated by Mr. Ropers various talents and he will also maintain an area for guest and featured artist. The Cafe boasts wonderful coffees, breakfasts, sandwiches and beverages, all inside of a very warm atmosphere. There are also "wi-fi" connections available for patrons...

"It is a beautiful location and like myself and many others in the "deep ellum" area, it has been like a phoenix rising out of the ashes. Out of the ashes to become a bright light and new beacon to bring people back to our historic area. At least that is my hope. When people enter the gallery, I want them to feel warmth, enlightenment and upliftment. And when they leave, I want them to be inspired."

"As I have said in my publication, "The most endangered species at this moment in time is Creative Thought"...The only wrong way to do art, is not to do it...We all may be thinking the same thing, but YOU may be the only one who can say it in a way that we all understand, and if you do not say it, it may never be said. Honor the gift of your presence by being yourself to the utmost." - Leroy Roper

The Leroy Roper Gallery will premiere Sept. 13th, during the annual "deep ellum" art walk.
