NEW ON THE SCENE
NEW FUTURES: Art should never be elite.
The New Futures programme is part of our continued mission to break down traditional barriers of the contemporary art world by giving a space to talented, often underrepresented, emerging artists. Each recipient is given free exhibition space at The Other Art Fair along with access to networks and opportunities designed to jump-start their careers.
The Winners for the October 2026 edition are Rajesh Bhovan and Kitty Jenkins.
Rajesh Bhovan
Rajesh Bhovan’s practice as a painter primarily draws from both old Hollywood and Bollywood films, exploring both the colours present in technicolour/ 35mm film as well as the deification of movie stars to gods. He is interested in how the cinema has become a contemporary temple and the engagement with media is a new form of worship. Being a part of the British south Asian diaspora, culturally, cinema and religion seem to be held at the same regard.
There are themes of reverence and critique in my paintings, questioning the boundaries between worship and spectatorship. The selected paintings look into the portrayal of religious figures, both traditional and contemporary through aestheticisation and commodification. He is interested in how the subtle perversion of spiritual themes occur through the capitalisation of ideologies and spectacle.
As well as conceptually, the paintings, introspectively create a deeper understanding of my own visual language, which he then applies in my wider practice. He also works with sculpture and film to world build, further exploring and projecting these themes and narratives.
Kitty Jenkins
Kitty Jenkins is a London based artist working predominantly in the fields of painting, drawing and printmaking. She completed her BA in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design (UAL) in 2010 and has recently graduated from 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.

Task Her

Dog Leg Studio
Dog Leg Studios is a bespoke framing studio built on a tradition of making things properly. Their roots go back to 1918, when their family joinery business began.
Dog Leg Studio makes frames for things worth keeping. Through their backgrounds in auctioneering and graphic design, we bring both a maker’s eye and an appreciation of colour, composition and how a piece lives within a space. A frame shouldn’t just contain something; it should give it presence, protect it, and become part of the story.
Based in Walthamstow, Dog Leg Studio is proud to be part of East London’s creative and diverse community.
In a world increasingly built around the immediate and disposable, we’re interested in the opposite: things made with care, meant to last, and worth keeping.
