Amy Cutler is a contemporary artist who makes illustrations of women, often dressed in Victorian style clothing, performing strange, cryptic tasks.

Formally she uses gouache on paper with large, white backgrounds that provide little context to the meanings. Figures are rendered simply but with exquisite detail. Her style is reminiscent of European Folk Art.

Her works have elements of humor and fairy tales.

Tuymans uses photographs as source material to create dislocation from real events, manipulation and deception in art. He executes all of his works in a single day and experiences feelings of aggression and violence before and during painting. His works, removed from photographs, create a sense of detachment. They often appear blown-out and overexposed.

Very similar to Wilhelm Sasnal.
