"Greg Minah: Shifting Ground, Selected Paintings 2008-2014" Goucher College, June-August, 2014.

Exhibition Statement:

In the summer of 2008, I was fortunate enough to spend six weeks in the extreme light, heat and space of Joshua Tree, California, completing an artist's residency. My time out west profoundly changed the trajectory of my work and my life. It was in Joshua Tree that I first started to explore the process-based possibilities of acrylic paint. In Shifting Ground the gradual emergence of my current painting method can be traced back to my efforts in the Mojave Desert---an ongoing practice fueled by a physical engagement with the medium and a formalistic approach to painting. This exhibition features a broad selection of work ranging from paintings made at the residency in 2008 to my most recent work from 2014.

I've included the original essay written by Doreen Bolger, director of the Baltimore Museum of Art that was included in the exhibition catalog as it beautifully encapsulates the development of my work.
