Karin Hosono

Born in Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture in 2002. Graduated from Tama Art University, majoring in Oil Painting. Began activities as an artist while still enrolled in school, and currently presents works primarily in Tokyo. In 2024, participated in "ART TAIPEI" as the first overseas exhibition. In November 2025, held the third solo exhibition "Memories of Being Here" at REIJINSHA GALLERY.

I have consistently continued to create works with "cats" as a motif since the age of 10, and through many years of exploration, I have arrived at my own unique forms and expressions. Through the existence of cats, I depict the small thrills found in daily life and emotions like warm and gentle prayers. In recent years, utilizing the observational eye I have cultivated and the sensations gained through interacting with cats, I have also been working on creating three-dimensional works.
