FEATURED ARTIST
Inspired by and using the analog methods of the humanist street photographers of the 1930s and 1940s, this exhibition celebrates the grace, joy, athleticism, and exuberance of human activity frozen by the trip of a shutter, forever holding time STILL IN MOTION. The exhibition features 26 gelatin silver black-and-white photographic prints.

Bending Light: Photography by
Featured Local Artist Larry Garmezy
My photographs chronicle what I find visually and intellectually intriguing in the natural world. As a geologist, understanding the physical processes that create patterns in nature allows me to capture unusual impressions and abstractions of the visual landscape. The common thread running through my work is the distortion of light, color, and shape created either by ripples in a spring, surface tension around a floating leaf, or the defects in a 400-year-old pane of glass. I have been a member artist of Archway Gallery since 2011, and this is my eighth solo exhibition. - Larry Garmezy
