15 Australian artists to discover before everyone else does

Neva Hosking is a Sydney-based artist and recent National Art School Graduate. She is motivated by portraiture, plans and linework. Prior to her formal art education, Hosking developed a habit of working with scrap mediums; found paper, telephone books, damaged surfaces. These are processes which inform her later work and built the understanding that a broken and fractured viewpoint often presents a more accurate, multi-faceted view of whatever subject needs to be explored. Her current practice expands beyond her drawing roots; collecting and collaging found materials, with the hope of reproducing ethereal forms of personal memory. Four-leaf clovers collected by the sitter and pressed in a passed-down flower press reflect the serendipity of found family.
