Sure! Here are eight different responses to that question:

"I’d say Banksy is definitely up there. His street art has really changed the game and made people think about social issues in a whole new way."

[CarsonBrennan]

"You can’t overlook Jeff Koons. His work has sparked a lot of conversations about consumerism and art in general."

[HuxleyAvalos]

"Yayoi Kusama is huge right now! Her immersive installations and polka dots have really made a mark on contemporary art."

[JoelBrock]

"I think Ai Weiwei is super influential, especially with how he uses art to comment on politics and human rights. He’s really bold."

[DangeloHuerta]

"Have you seen anything by Damien Hirst? His pieces, especially the ones with animals in formaldehyde, really pushed the boundaries of what art can be."

[JaredFinley]

"Kara Walker’s silhouettes are so striking and powerful. She tackles race and gender issues in such an impactful way."

[BrianPerkins]

"I’d mention Takashi Murakami too. His blend of fine art and pop culture has really resonated with a lot of people, especially with the younger crowd."
