Delete. There's notability potential in the art gallery showings if the article were sourced properly, but the referencing here is far too dependent on primary sources rather than reliable ones: the one thing here that's actually a reliable source is a book chapter which Syrus is the author of. This is simply not how you source an artist over WP:CREATIVE — a person gets notable for Wikipedia's purposes by being the subject of reliable source content written by other people, not by being the author of content about other things.

Delete but frustrated. I see lots of work, and seemingly good work, but not enough secondary sources talking about it. Basically, I'm echoing Bearcat here. Searching Google Books produces lots of hits, but they are all as contributor, not as the subject of discussion. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 20:05, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
