Bibliography

Silverberg, Amy: “I love Casey Hannan’s work. The colors and subject matter always feel playful, and yet there’s something a little bit sinister lurking just beneath. In this painting, it’s the tone more than the subject matter that I respond to: an off-kilter way of looking at the world. I’d like to think that duality is reflected in my fiction, too: humor and longing, light and darkness—a joke told in an empty room,” The Paris Review, https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2020/08/19/a-story-in-one-picture-2/

Gay, Roxane: “I am actually trying to decorate my L.A. apartment because I do plan on settling there. I hung some art by a friend of mine who does beautiful work—his name is Casey Hannan. And I am really excited about that,” Architectural Digest, https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/roxane-gay-on-why-she-never-decorates

Raab, Annie: "Sincerely Yours undresses irony at the Paragraph, and Casey Hannan gets Woe-ful at the Bunker Center," The Pitch, http://www.pitch.com/arts-entertainment/visual-art/article/20829034/sincerely-yours
