Paint Awash on a Shifting Ground

​Goucher College, Rosenberg Gallery, June 2014

Shifting Ground traces the trajectory of Greg Minah's work since his sojourn at Joshua Tree Highlands Artist Residency Program in the summer of 2008—six years during which he has matured as a painter with an original creative process and a distinctive style. Joshua Tree, at the edge of California's Mojave Desert, offered him a tangible break with his native Maryland, some distance literally and figuratively from familiar people, terrain, and art, as well as an opportunity to experiment and take risks, to present himself as a more fully developed artist.  The result of this residency was just what curators and jurors hope for: inspiration and a fresh, individual artistic approach.
