Photo Synthesis is an exhibition of thirteen vintage prints that exemplify Ray Metzker's pursuit for abstraction in nature while embracing delicacy of detail. Throughout his prolific career, Ray Metzker never ceased to find visual pleasure in trees, whether it be among the hills of Tuscany or the streets of Philadelphia. This exhibition features a small 1962 Wisconsin winter scene, a unique Whimsy composite from 1974, a Pictus Interruptus from 1978, and his classic 1983 City Whispers in which a tree encroaches the intersection of light and shadow. In hindsight, this picture announced Ray's radical shift from cityscape to landscape that preoccupied him over the next decade.
