    Locks Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of classic and recent photographs by Ray Metzker, shot primarily in Philadelphia. In Ray Metzker's most recent series, the bodies of cars reflect and distort urban views of Philadelphia; the convex metal and glass surfaces structure the photographic compositions. The lines are precise, the perspectives are biased or turned upside down, and the eye gets lost. The reflections interplay with the lens of the camera and convey a crystalline quality to the blacks, the grays, and the whites. As an iconic reminder, the exhibition will feature selected vintage prints from the series Philadelphia (1962-1964), whose subjects and compositions are surprising forerunners of the artist's latest series.
