Born in Dublin, Jack Hanlon originally studied for the priesthood at University College Dublin, Holy Cross and Maynooth College, but had begun exhibiting at the RHA at the age of twenty-one. His training mainly involved the art of looking, as he spent time in France, Belgium and Spain where he visited galleries, museums and cathedrals looking for inspiration. His formal training consisted of a spell at the studio of Andre Lhote in Paris, where he met Henri Matisse whose fauvist style was similar in ways to his own.

In 1943 he was among the founding members of the Irish Exhibition of Living Art, one of the most important movements in twentieth-century Irish art.

Many of his works are on public display in churches and in art galleries, including the watercolour Fiery Leaves in the National Gallery of Ireland.
