MEOW #38: Art in Part

A weekly meta crossword on the forum started by member Josh (aka madhatter5). These puzzles are often very creative with solving mechanisms out of the norm and skewing towards the more challenging. Puzzles are posted every Wednesday, and the solution appears the following Tuesday.

The grid only uses (all) letters from J to Z, meaning the answer is Jay-Z.
In my incorrect submission I had noted: "Most letters are from the back half of the alphabet. All are J and later. Only vowels are O and U (and sometimes Y)."

I submitted Yoko Ono (no letters before J). But when I was told it was wrong, I kept looking for some modern artist named NOATOI.

I thought of AI WEI WEI on the way to the proper answer. But also felt that Josh wasn't being political in the meta with a comment that AI was "missing".
