Kevin P. Bourgeois(born July 13, 1969) is an American artist, muralist, and activist known for His photorealist social-political graphite drawings and thematic installations. 

Self taught, he depicts his subjects in sociopolitical narratives that deal with the struggle for identity. Using collage aesthetics to dissect culture by utilizing a combination of photorealism, illustration, and pop-symbolism, Bourgeois explores the undercurrents of society through themes of ideologies, mass media, and identity. His practice of assemblage is of crucial importance to Bourgeois’ work, both conceptually and aesthetically. Incorporating found objects into his more traditional, representational work of pencil on paper displays his experience of the generational intersection during the turn away from an analogue society. 

He has been commissioned to do murals for AOL Ventures and Allison Sarofim, and has exhibited in New York with Causey Contemporary, Olsen Gruin Gallery, Exit Art, and Pulse Art Fair. His international exhibitions include DRAW museum exhibition at ” Museo de la Ciudad de Mexico, Collector's Contemporary in Singapore, and most recently at “SELF Identities – Faces. Places. Spaces” at Palazzo Ca'Zanardi, a collateral event to the 2015 La Biennale di Venezia, and a solo installation at Volta 12 in Basel Switzerland. 

He lives and works in New York.
