Kitty Jenkins is a London based artist working predominantly in the fields of painting, drawing and printmaking. She graduated from Central Saint Martins College with a BA in Fine Art in 2010, and is currently studying on the MA Fine Art course at CSM.


Her works considers the human figure as a form in flux, a structure that is capable of being taken apart and reconstructed in a new guise that sits outside of binary definitions. The fragmented image is an integral part of her process and allows for the construction of multi-layered figures, pieced together from a range of references and subjects that do not adhere to a singular identity. Her forms are a collective exploration into representation, identity and otherness.


Her recent work explores representation of the female form and the female narrative, with a particular focus on mythology, folklore and horror. Confronting societal norms and tropes of the feminine monstrous, her work embraces the subversion of the female form as having a transformative potential to challenge stereotypes and expectations. Through the construction of her own ‘monsters’ she investigates the power of horror to expose and reposition the seemingly abject, weaving together beauty and the horrific. Her work portrays the human figure as capable of transformation, mutation and change.
