Rachel Whiteread:

Rachel Whiteread is an English sculptor who focuses her work in a form of casts. She was the first woman to win the Turner Prize back in 1993 and a lot of her work is being exhibited at the Tate Modern. Many of her works are casts of ordinary domestic objects and the space those object do not inhabit, such as the area underneath the furniture.
Her best work, as well as most controversial, is called "House". It is a concrete cast of the inside of an entire Victorian Terraced house. The main problem people have with it is that it's a simple idea and could've been executed by anyone, those same people believe that art is only art if it looks like Picasso or Van Gogh. In my opinion it's a very interesting idea, the fact that no one ever did that before just proves that not everyone can do it, it takes true imagination to think of pouring concrete into a Victorian house to make a sculpture of it. A very nice idea with great execution.

Allan McCollum

Allan McCollum is an American artist who was born in California and now lives and works in New York. In 1975, his work was included in the Whitney Biennial and in the late seventies he became especially well known for his series, Surrogate Paintings; which can be found here http://allanmccollum.net/amcnet2/album/surrogatepaintings1.html
He has spent over 40 years exploring how objects achieve public and personal meaning in a world constituted in mass production, focusing most recently on collaborations with small community historical society museums in different parts of the world.
Some people might think his work is rather boring as it is quite repetitive with simple patterns recited over and over again, and I can't say I disagree with that. Most of his work is just the same 1 object pasted repetitively. It isn't something I find very creative since it ranges from just a black square in a frame all over the wall or just a random block on the floor, I don't see how this is considered art. But since he's famous I guess he's doing something right.

Pascal Dombis

Pascal Dombis is a digital artist who uses computers and algorithms to create repeats and loops of simple processes to create his form art. His work has been shown in numerous exhibitions around the world and is a part of several public and private collections. He is well known for his excessive use of simple algorithmic rules and when those rules are put in an excessive process, new and unpredictable forms are usually created. 
Personally, I am on the fence about his art, since it is digitally created he could just get his software to create random patterns and it would be considered art, when in reality it's a bunch of lines tangled together to create a pallet of jumbled colours, almost as if a child messed around on canvas with a bunch of paint. 
Don't get me wrong, some of his art is some real eye candy, but most of it is the same thing. If he could keep up art that looks pleasant to the eye, I wouldn't have any problem with it, but since most of it is repetitive, that's where the complaints come in.
