My work focuses primarily on how I am representing my subject rather than the what. Elements which are consistent in my work contain loose, expressive brushwork, and a sense of linearity. There remains an atmospheric sense of tranquility, the passage of time, and mortality through the harmony yet tension contained within the art. I create cropped scenes with firm compositions of intimate and isolated moments meaning to be contemplative. The intimate compositions tend to portray interiors which to me represent a sense of time away from nature. Humanity spends much time indoors in shelters either for work, leisure, or rest. In a sense, interiors make up a large portion of identity within our lives. The paintings are centered on the aesthetics of interiors and celebrating the design and relationships we have with spaces. The figures in the works interact with their space using their body language. First, I render the concept with a drawing study, then I start off my painting with a linear sketch of magenta oil paint, in order to have the subjects pop out a little more towards the audience. As the painting develops, I experiment with imaginative colors and tones. There remains a sense of movement within the painting through linear marks and focused, controlled composed space. The sketchy and painterly application of the paint along with the metaphorical themes help shape the purpose of image-making in contemporary society. Through intuition and improvisation, the drawings and paintings flow freely, without restraint.

Biography: Michael Athanasius Hanna is a painter, draftsman, writer, multimedia artist, and curator originally from Jersey City, New Jersey who has been creating art since the age of eight. He has exhibited extensively in the United States and has been featured in large exhibition spaces such as the Victoria Gallery in Paterson, New Jersey and the Atrium Gallery in Morristown, New Jersey. Notable shows in New York City include a solo exhibit in Chelsea at the Wix Gallery and a one year exhibit at Hogarth Worldwide in midtown Manhattan. Michael has been published by Saatchi Art, the New York Times, Hartford Courant, Daily Record, Jersey Journal, Ypilson Art, and other publications. Michael works out of his art studio located in North Georgia and has been serving as the curator of Aedra Fine Arts, an art publisher and online gallery, since 2014. Artist Statement: The art reflects an interpretation of structures broken down to forms of linearity and geometry. Through expressive, scratchy linework and dynamic shapes, the objective strives towards creation of perfected composition and design. Applications of varied line quality creates the illusion of light and /or complex perspective. In the drawings shading becomes done through blocking off forms and scribbling in the area while in the digital art strategic shapes and areas are filled with solid forms of color against a white background. My paintings start off with a drawing study of crayon on paper, infusing distortions, designed geometry, and fluid linearity. I apply the basic structure of the study to the canvas with an outline of magenta oil paint and then improvise with color, form, and various brushwork. As the painting develops, I experiment with imaginative colors and tones. The end goal pertains towards the creation of a personal standard for contemporary civilization which can be shared and explored to build upon current established trends, especially in image-making, design, and engineering. The paintings are centered on the aesthetics, design, and relationships we have with space. Most interiors and exteriors provide an almost perfect composition as a subject for a work of art because of their inherent geometric structure. Digital photography and video art focuses on concepts of structure but also have a study in surface and texture. There remains a sense of movement within the art through linear marks and focused, controlled composed space.
