SHERMAN OAKS, Calif., May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Glen Wexler's exhibition of photographic album cover art, "Metal Shop," will be on display at the ArcLight Cinemas Sherman Oaks, from May 29 thru July 8, 2008.

Wexler's indelible images have straddled the line between art and commerce, and transcended both. According to Michael Ochs, music archivist, curator, and author, "Glen Wexler doesn't just create rock and roll album covers, he is rock and roll -- in the best sense of the term. His album covers rock in their lyrical depiction and expansion of musical moments. He captures the essence of the artist and then wails with his own solo, creating a new entity that actually stands on its own."

Wexler photographed his first album cover for Quincy Jones Productions while still a student at Art Center College of Design. He quickly gained a reputation for his imaginative and elaborate photo illustrations for Michael Jackson, Van Halen, Black Sabbath, Rush, Yes, ZZ Top, Missing Persons, and hundreds of others. His signature style of "improbable realities" has earned an international following of photography collectors.

Tim Wride, former curator of photography for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), states, "Wexler's pictorial constancy as a risk taker and his deftness as a problem solver are the characteristics that distinguish his work and make his images both meaningful and memorable."
