This was deleted once previously as WP:G12, and there are still some probably considerable close paraphrasing issues, but it's a bit hard to tell because it looks like the author has altered the particular wording so that verbatim searches don't tell much.

There are serious tone issues anyway, although it's arguably poorly written vaguely promotional English, rather than well written obviously promotional English. And I sympathize.

Web searches don't return very much of anything at all. Unless some of these claimed collections are permanent and important or some of this persons works is renouned and widely covered in a way that is at least non-obvious to me, I don't think there much to expect the subject passes WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO or WP:NARTIST.

 * Delete As I explained to the editor who created the article: I'm concerned about the notability of the subject and his exhibition record. I don't recognize any of the exhibition venues, except one, Allingawier (I'm from the Netherlands). Allingawier is a tiny village that has approximately 60-80 inhabitants (it depends on how you count) but it definitely has no castle. Naturally, this makes me wonder about the other venues; a "personal exhibition in /Berlin/Prague/Oslo"? Unless there are independent, reliable sources that allow us to verify these claims, I'm afraid we're going to have to dismiss them and conclude that the subject fails our notability criteria.
