Ugonna Hosten

Hosten is a multi-disciplinary visual artist working across media encompassing drawing, printmaking, collage,photography and assemblage. Themes of myth, the unconscious and mysticism are prevalent in her work.

Born in Nigeria and migrating to the UK as a child, Ugonna’s work seeks to explore how meaning might be made of a dialectic backdrop.

In shaping the meeting place of two worlds she is informed by her intuitive imagination, and literature. Ugonna considers the creating of alternate and fantastical worlds, as a way of building on the rich legacy and tradition of storytelling.
