Walton Ford
The last time I was in New York back in 2008, I was doing the art gallery circuit and discovered an amazing artist called Walton Ford who was showing at the Paul Kasmin Gallery. He paints these extraordinarily large-scale, highly-detailed watercolors of animals that reminded me of the prints of 19th century illustrators such as John James Audubon etc. But if you look closer, his paintings are full of symbols, sly jokes, and provide "allusions to the 'operatic' nature of traditional natural history themes."
