  • Comment: This article reads more like a resume than like an encyclopedic article. It starts off with the phrase "world reno[wned]", which doesn't indicate a neutral tone. Check out this helpful list of words that you should consider not using. Also, the fact that most of the article is a list of the artist's exhibitions isn't good. Consider the featured article about a sculptor Bronwyn Oliver. Its "Works and exhibitions" section consists of running prose rather than a straight list. APerson (talk!) 22:43, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
