Does anyone know of any famous contemporary artists who specialize in figurative work?

Someone with their main body of work between the 1970’s – today. I need to do a research paper. I’m particularly interested in Catholic or Christian artists but any noteworthy artist who does figurative work (or does portraiture) would be of interest to me.
Someone who I could find a lot of information on would be good.

One of my favorites… and he’s Catholic…

    He certainly doesn’t do portrait, but equally certainly his sculptures are figurative, though they frequently get their real impact from the interaction with the environment they placed into.
