Stev'nn Hall

Hamilton-based artist Stev’nn Hall merges photography, painting, and drawing to create works that blur the line between hyperrealism and abstraction. Using analog techniques reimagined through a contemporary lens, Hall crafts images that are both nostalgic and strikingly modern.

Trained in film, painting, and photography at Concordia University, Hall begins with his own photographs—digitally enhancing each scene with theatrical or romantic undertones. The prints are then bent and folded to evoke the aged tactility of timeworn photos.

Mounted on birch panels, these altered prints become the base for Hall’s painterly process, as he layers oil, acrylic, pastel, and varnish onto their surfaces. The result is a bold fusion of analog and digital, where memory, landscape, and emotion converge.

Hall’s work has been profiled and reviewed in publications such as VICE Magazine, This is Colossal, My Modern Met, Creative Boom, The Globe and Mail, Ottawa Citizen, Rosphoto (Russia), The Pinch, and the McGill University Press article The Romance of Transgression in Canada.

Hall’s artwork has been widely collected and exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including at: the Art Gallery of Hamilton; DTR Modern Galleries (Washington, DC; Palm Beach; Boston); Gallery KH (Chicago); CONTACT Festival (Toronto); Galerie Le Royer (Montreal); Muse Gallery (Toronto); Elliott Louis Gallery (Vancouver); Clarendon Fine Art (London, UK); Axis Gallery (Calgary); and KM Fine Arts (LA).
