Hogan began his professional achievements and activities
in 1997, when he received his B.A. in Fine Art from
Carlow College. After graduating, Hogan began exhibiting
his art in both solo and group exhibitions around
the City of Pittsburgh and has received many awards
and honors for his participation in these exhibitions.
In 1997, Hogan's painting "Choice" was accepted by
curator Madeline Grynsztejn into the 8th Annual Associated
Artists of Pittsburgh exhibition at the Carnegie Museum.
During this exhibition, The Greater Latrobe Senior
High School, in an event called "Art Gala," selected
the piece as first place and purchased it for their
collection of "art unique to southwestern Pennsylvania
in the high school." This was a tremendous honor as
"this project was initiated more than 60 years ago
and has since spawned a catalog of all the art on
collection" by Latrobe High School.
In
1998, Hogan exhibited his painting "Finding Wings"
in the 31st Annual Exhibition of the Pittsburgh Society
of Artists and received the "Juror's Award." This
exhibition was held at The Third Street Gallery in
Carnegie, PA and the painting became the inspiration
for the creation of "The Finding Wings Center for
Healing." Christine Troupe and Jao Lopes purchased
this painting and opened their Center for Healing
in Santa Barbara, California. Hogan also received
"First Place" for his oil painting "The Council" during
the 1999 People's Art Show presented by Pittsburgh
Progressive Artists at the PPG Wintergarden.
Hogan's
first solo exhibition, "Stories" took place at the
former Studio Z Gallery in Pittsburgh's southside.
This exhibition, as well as his interaction with and
the support of gallery owner Kathleen Zimbicki, led
him into more opportunities to exhibit as a solo artist.
Some of these exhibitions included: "Remember Wonder,"
Daystar Gallery - "My Security, My Escape... My Voice,"
Bloomfield ArtWorks - and "Recent Works," Penn Gallery.
In
2000, Hogan was juried into The Three Rivers Art Festival
Market, in the category of painting and he has exhibited
his work in his Artist Market Booth for the past three
years. The magnitude of this festival enabled him
to find more individuals who find quality in his art
and has guided him into directions never before considered. In May of 2004, Hogan exhibited work in collaboration
with artist Brenda Stumpf, "The Unspoken" at Mosaic
the Gallery in Cleveland, Ohio. This was the first
time he has exhibited his work outside of Pennsylvania. In 2005, Hogan exhibited "Urban/Organic Extractions" a series of paintings done in collaboration with abstract painter Mark Gualtieri. The result of these endeavors placed Hogan's work
in private collections all across the United States.
Hogan continues to work as a professional framer at Box Heart Gallery and as an art consultant with Mox Box Premier Art Consulting. He is also a member of IATSE, Local Union 489 where he works as a scenic painter for feature film productions.
