An often, experimental and highly creative type of art work is modern contemporary art.  The painter Mackenzie Thorpe is a typical example of a modern day modern contemporary artist.  There has been a rise in the popularity of contemporary modern art amongst ordinary people as it has become more widely available.  It is easy to see that contemporary modern art has become widely accessible thanks to the use of new techniques and fabrics like those found in street art.  These interesting elements of contemporary modern artists work have increasingly led to a more wide spread appeal among the general populous.  Artists like Mackenzie Thorpe have managed to get that rare combination of critical praise and mass popularity among the UK as a whole.  Selling limited prints such as Mackenzie Thorpe prints, have proven to be a great way for artists to build a reputation and a fan base.
