What artists do you like?
anigbrowl: Istvan Sandorfi. http://www.fosaw.com/ Autechre. http://www.autechre.info/ Peter Greenaway. http://www.petergreenaway.info/ Edit:  like the OP I could list many more; I could also ruminate for a long time on what common factors combine to create a particular artistic sensibility...but I won't. I believe all art is an attempt to impose order on one small corner of a chaotic universe, and is thus fundamentally an acknowledgement of entropy.
