Kevin Auzenne (b. 1971, Midland Michigan, raised Tallahassee, Fl.) is a Cincinnati, Ohio based self-taught artist engaged in a broad-based practice at the intersection of narrative figuration and conceptual abstraction in which surface, texture, line and color play primary roles in the evolution of his work. Auzenne’s output, over two decades has seen experiments in a wide variety of mark-making, 

on numerous surfaces, employed to evoke figures, gestures, and meaning bound in fantastical, oblique narratives and subtle critiques on bias, history, injustice and race. 

Auzenne was recently awarded the Excellence in Painting Grant by the Ohio Arts Council, as well as being featured in the regional survey of emerging Mid-Western artists at the Cincinnati Museum of Art.
