Biography: Michael Athanasius Hanna (born 1983) is an assemblage artist, writer, photographer, filmmaker, and publisher originally from Jersey City, New Jersey who has been creating art since the age of eight. He has exhibited in the United States and Europe. Notable shows in New York include a solo exhibit in Chelsea at the Wix Gallery and a one year exhibit at Hogarth Worldwide on Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan. Other noteworthy exhibitions include Space - Millepiani in Rome with a published catalogue and the Artists’ Guild in St. Louis. His exhibitions in New Jersey include a solo show at the Victoria Gallery in Paterson and a presentation at The Oyster Point Hotel Gallery in Red Bank. Additionally, he has had multiple solo exhibitions at The Colonnade: Performing Arts Theatre in Ringgold, Georgia. Michael has been published by The London Group, Saatchi Art, The New York Times, Hartford Courant, Daily Record, and The Jersey Journal. He works out of his art studio located in the Jersey Shore and has been serving as the Editor & Curator of Titan Contemporary Publishing since 2014. As a writer and publisher, Michael has been consistently complimented on his detailed yet direct approach to art writing, largely devoid of plastic language. Such a style of critical analysis has been covered in two publications under Titan Contemporary Publishing: The Artist Feature Catalogue and Titan Contemporary Journal. The catalogue features curatorial essays on established artists from around the world while the journal focuses on contemporary art discourse and philosophy. Michael’s purpose as a publisher remains to provide critical commentary and content on the newest contemporary art available by publishing on multiple formats including on the TCP website, Substack, Artwork Archive, and in linen wrap hardcover book editions.
