It's been hard to think about an Artist that I love because I have enjoyed arts since I was a kid and in different times my tastes have changed from admiring music to admire performance artists, sculptores, painters, poets, etc etc etc. However, I will let you know of the ones I like the most nowadays.
As I just mentioned painting has been one of the arts areas I have admired the most, even more, I wanted to become a painter myself when I was younger and more handsome (LOL), and so, I will show you my favourite Artists who are a couple of painters, one of them is from Israel and the other is from Austria and they have been working together since 1992. They have made most of their career in London and have made incursions in painting, drawing, photography and also photoperformance, believe it or not, in poetry...
I got to know these painters back in the 2007 on a tour around art galleries and I just fell in love with their painting aesthetics. In most of their work you can recognize some classical benchmarks and references but mixed with very contemporary characters and scenes wich makes one deeply relate to their work, another characteristic is that in their paintings, they propose the idea of being standing at a comic with images of the popular culture and also they use letters in the forms of poems that contradict and make one think deep of the triviality of post-industrial pop culture and the deep references to an old nostalgic and romantic coyness.
Here I give you some examples of the art pieces I like the most:

Wow! It's amazing that classical art can be always resignified and still work. Nice use of the classic composing decisions to make something modern (or even postmodern).
ResponderBorrar¡Great answer!
Borrarwow! Those artist have a very interesting work. I never heard of them before.
ResponderBorrarI would like to know more about their art
¡shut up!
BorrarWow I don't known this paintings!
ResponderBorrarIs interesting how make you feel this paintings. Really the triviality of some post-industrial pop culture.
I don't like this style of paintings, but I like you can admire and feel it.
ResponderBorrarI do not really know this artist, I will investigate more about him!
ResponderBorrarIt's actually a couple of artists.
BorrarThe truth is I'm not an art expert, but I think is really great that you can enjoy and feel with this type of art.
ResponderBorrarLOL
BorrarWhat an interesting couple of artists! I didn't know them at all, I find very attractive that they took classic art compositions and made modern art close to pop culture.

ResponderBorrarThe other day I was in the exhibition of andy warhol and this post I remember his work. This is interesting Im stunned
Pop is everywhere ? LOL
Borrar
ResponderBorrarI have a friend who studies art, and teaches me a couple of things about his career, and I really think it is quite difficult to reach a level like that of this artist
with eagerness anybody can reach their goals
BorrarVery interesting. It's really cool how they manage to do those remakes by using very modern elements. I think that's pretty unique.
ResponderBorrarPop's everywhere! LOL
BorrarI didn't know Muntean/Rosenblum. My comment is very obvious, but it's like to see a classic artwork. Just look this pic:

I'd never heard about them! I think their work have many elements of the pop culture and I really like it. Thank you for show this art!
ResponderBorrarWow! My mother is an art teacher and my house is full of books of artists ... and i had never heard about them. The pictures are very interesting.
ResponderBorrarSuch a weird paintings! but interesting at the same time. The most picture I liked was the last one, with that young guys on the living room, although I couldn't guess which was the original painting.
ResponderBorrarHi teacher!
ResponderBorrarThe truth is that I do not know much about painting, but I think I should study more about it. I will take your remark as a good impetus to do so.
Regards!
As you answered before pop is everywhere. Most forms of contemporary art are pop, this particular type of painting performed by this couple reminded me of a meme that was a trend last year, wich consisted of compairing funny pictures to the composition of a classical canvas.
ResponderBorrarI don't know much about painting, but I really like these pictures. I will try to investigate more about this area because is quite original.
ResponderBorrarOhh! these paintings resemble those of the Chilean painter "Guillermo Lorca García-Huidobro" for the play of the shadows in the third picture. beautiful
