Not that I know many artists, but Banksy shows over and over that he's the best living artist. His work is funny, poignant, expressive, imaginative, and shows up in the most incredible places, from Gaza to a big installation a couple blocks from my home once. Sometimes I see articles on ads, privacy, debates between public and private use of spaces, surveillance, and such, and, as fond as I am of clear, precise language, I find Banksy's artistic statements are more clear and meaningful that what I read in mainstream media.
