Finding Oklahoma

“Finding Oklahoma” features original photographs by Leonid Furmansky of our state’s strangest, most beautiful and often overlooked structures. Discover what makes Oklahoma’s built landscapes rich—and maybe even a bit surprising!

Leonid Furmansky is an architectural photographer based in Austin, Texas who explores the built environment and the ways architecture shapes how we live. His work spans commissioned projects and editorial assignments, combining clear visual storytelling with a strong sense of place. Furmansky was named one of ArchDaily’s Top 25 Emerging Photographers representing what is now often called the United States and was featured in AN Interior’s Future of Vision. He earned a degree in Photography from the Photography + Visual Media Program at ACC.

His photographs have appeared in The New York Times, Divisare, Houston Cite, Glasstire, The Architect’s Newspaper, AN Interior, Texas Architect, Dwell, Architectural Record, Dezeen, Apalmanac, East Side Magazine, Austin Home, PaperCity, Tribeza, and ArchDaily. Outside of commissioned work, Leonid enjoys documenting rural landscapes and densely populated cities, and can often be found riding BMX with friends.

This exhibit runs May 1 – June 27, at UTulsa’s 101 Archer in the North Gallery. Our galleries are open Wednesdays through Saturdays from noon until 5 p.m. Special closures for private events will be announced on our social media pages. As always, admission is free.
