Wilhelm Sasnal is definately one of those. What strucks me from the start are his print-a-like painting style and the subject metter. His 'print' painting has this modern simplicity of light-shadow game we find in Street Art stencils, the 'pop' colour scheme, comercial object representations and photography transmutations. Exploration of history( in this case Poland during comunism and transformation period) and changes in society make his ideas very close to my heart. I admire artists that are personal but yet objective observers of their enviroment.
