Alex Kuno
ST. PAUL, MN
Alex Kuno (American, b.1979) paints surreal illustrative fantasies that evoke the strange savagery of medieval fairy tales. Pulling inspiration from historical, medical, and botanical illustrations, Kuno’s corporeal and, at times, monstrous subjects disturb and delight us into otherworldly dimensions.
Alex Kuno lives and works in the Lowertown Arts District in Saint Paul, Minnesota. He graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1999 and has “been teaching [himself] how to be an artist every day ever since.” Arch Enemy Arts has exhibited Kuno’s work since 2017, and we look forward to his third solo feature with the gallery in October, 2025.

-
“Yonder” (December 2023)
