Jenny Saville
Saville born. 1970 is an English painter and is one of the Young British Artists (YBA's).
British art collector Charles Saatchi purchased her entire graduate show and was commissioned by him for two years.
Saville's style is compared to Lucian Freud for her traditional oil painting techniques; heavy brushmarks, strong pigment, high impression of the skin and the mass of the subject fills the canvas.
Rachel Whiteread
Rachel Whiteread is a British artist and is best known for her sculptures, which take the form of casts. Whiteread won the Turner Prize in 1993 and is also a member of the YBA. I first saw Whiteread's work in the turbine hall in the Tate Modern museum in London, which totally amazed me. The entire space was filled with white cube like boxes, and you could touch the boxes and interact within the different spaces she created.

Kurt Jackson born 1961 is an English painter and paints large canvases based on the natural environment and documents how the land changes. Often his exhibited shows are a series of paintings from a particular place over a length of time. I saw his show at the Victoria Gallery in Bath 2009 called 'River Avon'.
