Renown Artists of the 21st Century

Renown Artists

Today’s renown artists are transforming the face of art. From Thomas Schutte to Tracey Emin to Jeff Koons, the new generation is creating works of art that will leave their mark on the world. Here’s a brief overview of their work.

artists

Thomas Schutte

Thomas Schutte’s work is renowned worldwide. He has had three solo exhibitions in the past decade and has had works exhibited in Munich, Madrid and Bonn. His work is also included in the collections of most major museums. Originally from Oldenburg, Germany, Schutte now lives in Dusseldorf.

Thomas Schutte has worked in various media including sculpture, watercolors, drawings, models, and installations. His works often revolve around figurative subjects and explore themes of hero worship and utopian ideals. His work is also characterized by an exploration of scale and material. His sculptures range in size from eighteen inches to over ten feet.


Elizabeth Peyton

Peyton’s work is widely acclaimed and popular internationally, particularly in the United States. Peyton was included in the 2003 Whitney Biennial, where she exhibited a self-portrait. Her work is often reminiscent of fashion illustration. The world renowned artist has a gamine style and short, dark hair.

Peyton’s work reflects the cultural shift in the new millennium. Her portraits of the Lemonheads, for example, represent a transition from an age of figurative painting to a time of abstraction. In one portrait, she shows singer Dando reading a book, with his long hair swept from his face. In another, she shows a man sitting quietly with his legs crossed. Her portraits have an ethereal quality.


Tracey Emin

Tracey Emin is one of the world’s most prolific artists. She combines a range of mediums, including monoprints and embroidered works, to create her unique and powerful works. The artist’s artwork is highly autobiographical, documenting her memories of growing up in Margate. She has exhibited her works around the world, including the United States and the United Kingdom. Her work is often characterized by representations of female bodies and splayed legs. Her work has been compared to that of American feminist artists.

Tracey Emin’s works explore the human condition and a life that is both personal and universal. Her work deals with themes of grief and desire that transcend the boundaries of national boundaries. Her works have become iconic, including the 1996 Turner Prize-nominated ‘My Bed’, which depicts a life model going crazy.

More Renowned Artists


Jeff Koons

Koons’ work has a history of controversy. His controversial series “Made in Heaven” features a couple in sexual poses. The exhibition premiered at the Sonnabend Gallery in 1991 and included a billboard that announced a feature film Koons intended to produce with his wife, Ilona Staller. The couple later married and had a son.

Koons’s sculptures often feature different materials. Many of his works are made out of steel, plastic, or other materials. These materials often come from everyday objects. The Popeye sculptures, for example, are made of bright red steel chains and can be unsettling. The chains may suggest shackles or entrapment. This art is critical of contemporary consumerism.


Mark Bradford

Bradford’s work is based on an exploration of the urban landscape. Using discarded materials found on the streets, Bradford transforms them into works of art that are meant to be viewed on a large scale. As a result, these works often address a range of socio-political issues. The artist’s work also references art history and touches on important themes.

Bradford’s works use color and contrast to communicate a sense of place. In the work Ghost Money, for example, Bradford references a modernist grid and urban space and references the empty promises of local marketing flyers placed strategically on telephone poles and fences. In this manner, the artist evokes the experiences and the social status of struggling working-class people.


Olafur Eliasson

Born in 1967 in Copenhagen, Denmark, Olafur Eliasson is an artist whose work spans many media, including paintings, sculpture, and multimedia installations. His work is inspired by natural elements and is often based on a polar landscape. His works explore the interplay between natural and manmade worlds. They often use color, light, and movement to influence viewers’ perceptions.

Eliasson has held solo exhibitions in renowned venues around the world. He also founded Studio Eliasson, a contemporary art space in Berlin. His work has also involved collaborations with scientists and experts, and he is currently working on a project called Little Sun, which seeks to provide light to disadvantaged areas of Africa.


Mark Grotjahn

Mark Grotjahn, another of the renown artists, is well known for his meticulous paintings and intricate cardboard masks. Grotjahn first began creating cardboard masks ten years ago, but soon moved on to paint. He began with a series of paintings entitled Butterfly series. These works are often eerie and have an almost primordial power. Some of the paintings look like they’ve been ripped from cardboard boxes, but if you look closely, they resemble the faces of butterflies.

Grotjahn has also shown his work in various museums and galleries. His work has been featured at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh.
