LamsfuB
German artist Ulrich LambsfuB (b. 1971) is amazing. His brush work is thick and expressive, yet precise. His imagery is explosive, though he is apparently more interested in the reproduction of the images he works from, giving the paintings a traditional feel.
"I like the old, the classical, 'sublime' as a clearly recognizable tool of fiction."
FFFFOUND
Kara Walker
Kara Walker (b. 1969) is a contemporary artist who deals with African American sterio types. She is amazingly innovative, and has had shows in the Whitney, MOMA, and the Guggenheim. Very Impressive!
Here is a video someone has shot of her Whitney show.
Also, here is an interview with Walker herself!

Purging Pope
"Purging Pope" - Zane Lewis. This is vinyl and acrylic. This is also awesome. Very innovative- I love when people push the limits of painting, and it doesn't look like crap.
His Artist statement:
"I attempt to explore the power of cultural icons and their relevence to contemporary equivalents of the religious sublime. By
using personas that range from the charasmatic to the unsettling to the worshipped, i throw into question the cultural
paradigms of contemporary culture."
