Come downtown and visit Garmezy’s “Private Spaces” unique and often playful brand of photography while enjoying lunch at Treebeards, a Houston institution since 1978. Larry Garmezy will be on hand to discuss his work on many Tuesdays and Fridays during the exhibition.

From his favorite haunts in the Northern Rockies to his backyard in Houston and points in between, Garmezy’s images are typically impressions or abstractions of landscapes distorted by physical processes that create surprising and fleeting patterns.

His work is shaped by his early adventures as a geologist. Through this filter he observes and captures the subtle shapes and textures hidden in the details of nature’s recesses. Larry Garmezy, a mostly retired geologist, spent 32 years traveling the world with Shell Oil after graduating from Amherst College and Penn State University. A lifelong photographer, he has had five solo shows as a member artist at Archway Gallery in Houston.

His work has been in numerous juried shows, hangs in homes, offices and public spaces across the U.S. and Europe, and has been published in Spotlight Contemporary Art Magazine (issues 15, 17, 23, and 27).
