About

Hosten (b.1982 Lagos, Nigeria) lives and works in Kent,UK. She is a multi-disciplinary artist working across media encompassing collage, drawing, assemblage and printmaking.

With a particular interest in the nature of the Self; Hosten’s work pulls from vast fields; including philosophy, mythology, depth psychology, alchemy and the ancient spiritual traditions of the Igbos.

Since her debut solo exhibition in 2022, Hosten has continued to explore and develop a mythical tale of a female protagonist on a pilgrimage guided by a divine entity.

She cites her work as “a process of broadening and deepening a felt sense of the transpersonal dimension, a journeying towards a horizon of self discovery and becoming.”

Hosten is represented by Ed Cross.
