The best modern "art" I've ever come across is early videogame soundtracks. Uematsu is unironically the best composer of our time.
Visual art? Barely exists as a medium anymore. It's a vehicle for money laundering and fraud, wrapped up with a pretty little bow of pretentious fart sniffing. The closest thing you can get to a real artist in the modern world is Ansel Adams and he's been dead for half a century. Miss me with that schizophrenic, soup can bullshit.
Uematsu is an absolute genius. I'm also personally quite partial to Yoko Shimomura's stuff. Her music is way better than FF15 deserved, and KH music blows me away time and time again.
And then about 3 years ago, I found out she was also responsible for a lot of Street Fighter 2 music.
Apparently she also composed a single song for Mega Man 5--the theme to the Wily levels.
But it was never confirmed if it was her.
It IS known she worked for Capcom at the time, however.
She did the Adventures in the Magic Kingdom OST, meaning she covered the Mickey Mouse Club theme decades before she touched Kingdom Hearts.
I adore her work on the SMRPG and Mario and Luigi RPG OSTs.
