One thing that connects all the mentioned artists below is their experimental use of narrative. The narrative is important in all their work and often defines their piece. They each focus on important themes and issues in the world and express their views in often quite dramatic ways. Cindy Sherman and Jeff Wall both focus on issues in society such as social perceptions and gender. Edward Hopper and Gregory Crewdson both focus on American landscapes and the contrasts between nature and domesticity. Kyle Cooper and Pablo Ferro both show direct links with each other in their style of working.
