Luc Tuymans
Luc Tuymans is a contemporary artist from Antwerp, Belgium. His figurative paintings have a
subdued and quiet look to them. The lack of color and blurry canvases have a voice that is u-
nparalled. His images often have hidden meanings and darker histories behind them.

Gerard Richter
Gerard Richter is a contemporary visual artist and currently the highest selling living artist today.
He is most known for his portraits. What I find inspirational about his artwork, is his how he cap-
tures the face of his subject. Often, Richter's paintings are blurred. The blur enhances his intent.

Bruce Nauman
Bruce Nauman is an American artist who uses unique mediums including sculpture, photography, neon,
video, drawing, printmaking, and performance. I believe his art, especially his light pieces, to be inspiring
because use distinctive colors. The neons highlight the words, which are often simple. This creates a poignant
bit of commentary to be interpreted by the viewer.

Michaël Borremans
Michaël Borremans is a Belgian painter. I find him to be inspirational because his paintings are mysterious.
No one knows the exact meaning of any one of his paintings because he has said that his portraits and
works do not depict any specific individual. His work and those he's painted, are anonymous.

Jean-Michel Basquiat
Jean-Michel Basquiat was an American artist who began with graffiti in NYC. His art contained a unique
voice that blended both text and image, using abstract shapes and drawings to express his own social
commentary. Many of his paintings attacked racism, segregation, and vocalized the horror of poverty.
I find his work to be inspirational because of his creativity and intent.
