Leather on the Walls, Music in the Air
Leather artist and songwriter Daniel Cooper, from Nashville, Tennessee, graced the Art Lovers gallery, last night for a new opening on the First Friday of February. Art patrons were treated not only to Daniel's tactile art, but also the sax and keyboard jazz stylings of 5th generation Carbondalean, Shadi Frick, as well as a song by Daniel called "Cockroaches, Keith Richards, and me." Among the other artists in attendance was Victor Degraff, whose cave paintings in sand bear a striking resemblance to Cooper's oil on leather renditions.
