Greg Minah: Painting | Method from Greg Minah on Vimeo.

Here’s a fantastic video of be nice art friends very own Greg Minah. A beautiful peak into the studio and into the methodic and rythmic process of his paintings. Had the amazing privilege to have collaborated with Greg on a large scale painting when we were together as undergrads at University of Maryland College Park… it might be time for a reunion : )

A short video highlighting the unique painting method of Baltimore-based artist, Greg Minah.

Greg Minah creates his abstract paintings by pouring thinned out acrylic paint onto the canvas and then tilting and turning the stretcher to precisely control the flow of the medium. Often, a layer is partially removed with pressurized water before it has a chance to completely cure, leaving only the outline of the poured paint and revealing the multi-layered construction of the work. This method of working might best be described as a collaboration between artist and material. The result is a lyrical moment suspended in time but the significance remains fluid as it relies entirely on the encounter with the viewer.

She found her way into public radio after practicing law for five years, and can definitely say that walking the streets of New York City with a microphone is a lot more fun than being holed up in the office writing letters to opposing counsel. (via WNYC.org)

She has recently gained notoriety for a series of reports on the NYPD’s habit of improperly arresting citizens for marijuana in NYC when arrests were not necessary. Her reporting lead to NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly ordering his cronies to stop such arrests all together. Bellow are her two reports from WNYC, the first is her initial report that lead to Kelly’s mandate and the second is the follow up to see if changes have come about.
