From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stev´nn Hall (b. July 19, 1966) is a Canadian contemporary visual artist living in Hamilton, Ontario. His multifaceted artistic expressions include portrait photography, film making[1] on LGBT themes; and multi media pictorial artwork, often made by elaborating on originally photographic takes.[2] Hall's photographic portraiture representing homosexual psychologycal conflicts was reviewed on Vice,[2] and termed "confrontational and seductive" by Canadian writer R.M. Vaughan as published in The Globe and Mail.[3] His satyrical short film "Bondage Television" denounces the abusive nature of male's behavior often present in emblematic Hollywood's action films, as commented in length by the film writer Thomas Waugh.[4] Hall´s pictorial artwork has been featured in noted art blogs including Creative Boom[5] and Colossal,[6] describing the way Hall applies paint media and varnish to distressed photographs to develop his landscapes and still lifes. Hall's pictorial themes have included recreations of Monet´s water lilies; as well as open-field provincial landscapes depicting imposing cloud scenery in a hyperrealistic style.[7]
