Artist Larry Garmezy will unveil his latest collection, “Bending Light,” at the Women’s Institute of Houston from December 15, 2025, through March 13, 2026. This exhibition marks Garmezy’s eighth solo showcase and aims to highlight the intricate beauty found within nature.
A trained geologist, Garmezy combines scientific precision with artistic curiosity to explore the natural world. His photographic work captures the subtle patterns, distortions, and reflections that light creates, transforming the mundane into the extraordinary. From the delicate ripples of a spring to the intricate interplay of water around a leaf, Garmezy’s images reveal the complexities often overlooked in everyday life.
Transforming Ordinary Scenes into Art
Through “Bending Light,” Garmezy invites viewers to appreciate the unexpected beauty in ordinary settings. His photographs feature fascinating elements such as imperfections in centuries-old glass, showcasing how light and color can redefine perceptions of the familiar. This artistic approach encourages audiences to engage with their surroundings in new and meaningful ways.
As part of the exhibition’s community impact, 15 percent of all sales will be donated to the Women’s Institute of Houston, supporting its ongoing mission to empower women through education and community programs. This initiative underscores the importance of art as a vehicle for social change and connection.
