your favorite art/artists of our time?

i'm currently taking an art history class.. and i've noticed that all of the artists whose names are well-known are from the past: van gogh, warhol, monet, etc.
my question is: are there any artists that are creating works in our current time that are worth looking at? i've been somewhat familiar with the luminaries of the past, but i dont know anything when it comes to art today.
i dont know a lot about art, so any recommendations would be helpful.
thanks

As fantastic as art school is-they tend to focus on the past rather than artists now.

These are some links to check out for artists and info-
http://artnet.com/
http://www.artwhatson.com.au/
http://www.modernartistsgallery.com/artists.php
http://www.modernartistsgallery.com/artists.php

Heres some work-

Godwin Bradbeer-(my artschool lecturer)


Irene Barberis-(another lecturer)


Ricky Swallow-(everyone in melbourne loved him a couple of years ago-I wasn't impressed)

Francis Alys. He does not have a lot of stuff on the internet, but there are plenty of exhibition catalogues out there with his work. Look for "Walking Distance from the Studio"
