Stev'nn Hall

Stev’nn Hall (previously) blends photography and painting together in an impressionistic style, often focusing his works on the rural landscapes of his Canadian home, or images of flowers he takes in his studio. The pieces are built from images shot with a 35mm camera, and feature gestures on the surface in the mediums of acrylic, ink, and pastel. These markings serve as both complements to the landscapes and abstract bits of scrawl, simultaneously pushing the underlying photograph to appear more like a painting, and Hall’s painted additions to seem like photographic errors.

Artist Stev’nn Hall fuses painting and photography to create stunning landscapes that blur the line between fantasy and reality. After studying the two disciplines in school, he combines the precise, documentary eye of photographs with the uninhibited splatters of brush strokes. The results are striking, Impressionist-style compositions rich in color and texture, boasting areas of intricate detail as well as large, diffused fields of pigment.
