Stev’nn Hall Spring Collection Opening
Boston, Massachusetts — What better way to welcome the arrival of spring than with the unveiling of a luminous new collection by acclaimed landscape artist Stev’nn Hall?
A mixed-media visual artist celebrated for his emotionally resonant, dreamlike landscapes, Hall seamlessly merges photography, painting, and drawing to create richly layered, atmospheric works. His compositions feel at once cinematic and intimate, imbued with a sense of nostalgia and quiet melancholy. Through dramatic skies and radiant horizons, Hall evokes what he describes as a “connection to the unknown,” an internal pilgrimage shaped by childhood memory and the complexities of later life, including the experience of caring for his parents. His work delicately captures the tension between beauty and impermanence.
Having spent the winter months immersed in his studio practice, Hall now presents a striking new body of mixed-media paintings, debuting at DTR Modern Galleries’ Boston location. We invite you to join us for an elegant Opening Reception on Friday, April 24th, as we celebrate both the artist’s latest collection and the spirit of the season.
Please see below for additional details, and preview the collection here.

Raised in rural Ontario, Hall grew up with a 35mm camera in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, an early duality that would eventually define his artistic voice. He studied film, photography, and painting at Concordia University in Montréal, and later channeled his talents into filmmaking, directing indie music videos, and producing award-winning television promos before returning to his first love: painting.
Hall’s process is deeply tactile and rooted in memory. He begins with his own analog photographs, of farmhouses, open roads, vast skies, and pastoral scenes reminiscent of his upbringing, which he reworks through a multi-step transformation. He re-photographs these images through textured glass, crops and overlaps them, and then enlarges them onto birch panels. Over these photographic foundations, he builds layers of oil, acrylic, pastel, and ink. He scrapes, scumbles, scratches, glazes, and repaints the surfaces to create the feeling of aged, time-worn photographs, artifacts shaped by recollection as much as by reality.
Stev’nn Hall has exhibited widely across North America and internationally. He has held solo shows in Ontario, Toronto, and Montréal, as well as in DTR Modern Galleries’ locations in the United States. His work resides in private collections worldwide and is included in notable public collections such as The Ritz-Carlton Toronto and the Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls. Hall has also been featured on Bravo TV and appeared twice on the artist-focused series Star Portraits.
