"For sure! Look at someone like Takashi Murakami. He mixes traditional Japanese art with pop culture, and you can definitely see the classic influences in his colorful, bold pieces."

"Definitely! Look at how the street artist Banksy incorporates classic techniques and themes into his graffiti. It's like he's reinterpreting the classics for today's world."
