b. 1933<br> Liam Hanley was born in London but spent most of his formative years in Wales. He studied briefly at the Central School of Art but is largely self taught.<br> <br> He has held several one man exhibitions at the Royal Society of Arts, the Mermaid Theatre, and the Thackeray Gallery, London, to name but a few. He has also held mixed exhibitions. His works have been purchased by the Graves Art Gallery in Sheffield, local authorities and hospitals.<br> <br> Of his work Hanley states: “If my painting had to fit into a category it would be landscape, though landscape from the pictorial point of view is not what I seek. I am concerned with the ‘land’ and what man does to it, especially on a few fields close to Royston in Hertfordshire.” <br>
