Banksy
Of course the first question comes to mind is who is Banksy? Many speculations have been made, and some of them may be true. It is believed his name is Robin or Robert born in 74 or 75 one thing which is known is that he was born in Bristol. One thing which is absolutely certain is that Banksy's art work is original, fresh, and hard cutting.
Bansky's skills are amazing whether or not you see it as graffiti or art. Personally I see it as art. This is art for the people, not just art for the rich or the well off, or the people who can afford portraits for themselves, but for the masses. The pieces stand out from anything else I love the way he uses graphic almost comic strip way of working.

In many of his works he shows modern city warfare with the most innocent characters integrated for instance Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz in the most top image, and a little boy in the image straight above. The story theses pictures tell are so relevant and hard hitting. This is modern art not in old buildings but on the outside of them.
