Gunter looks interesting, albeit a bit too pessmisitic. The others are all too mainstream / polite / vague.

Good to know,
Why do you say Mr. Brus is 'too pessimistic'?

All of his art (in all the few minutes I spent looking him up :p) seems to portray anger, disgust. Of course, these emotions are sorely needed in the disgusting mainstream society we currently live in, so it's hard to fault him.

I also don't think he (or any of them) explore their ideas deeply enough. (Hence why they are able to be accepted by the mainstream). Brus seems to push things the furthest, but not really. I crave depth. I think the only good art, in today's age, will probably have to be done anonymously. By definition, it cannot be popular, or held in public galleries.
