Article is about a Russian painter without coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. The biography from the artist's web site lists exhibitions at the Tretyakov Gallery, and Pushkin Museum, but he does not appear to be part of the permanent collection, nor can these exhibitions be confirmed in reliable sources. Searching in English and Russian turns up no coverage in reliable sources. The Russians search was done using machine translation so perhaps somebody proficient in Russian checking would be welcome. I did find this English language press release. Whpq (talk) 20:16, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Weak delete There appears to be several reliable sources. However, there doesn't appear to be a significant amount of coverage. Article appears to fail the notability guidelines for biographies.  Alpha_Quadrant    (talk)    18:15, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
