Fr Hanlon was an Irish Roman Catholic priest who also found time to be a modernist painter. He was friendly with other successful artists such of the time, such as Mainie Jellett, and was one of the founders of the Irish Exhibition of Living Art, which provided up and coming artists with a venue to exhibit their work.
His paintings are so full of light and colour. Below are some examples of his artwork in a range of artistic styles from French modernism to Cubism. They are taken from this page on the Whyte's auctioneers website dedicated to his art.
