This page has been subject to so much promotion and exaggeration that it's hard to tell which end is up. As I worked on cleaning up this article (see an earlier version), I found that the large majority of the sources and claims were inflated or false. For example, the artist apparently exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo, which is highly prestigious, however when you look into it you discover that it was a show in a rental space at the Palais de Tokyo, and the "show" was a collaboration with a luxury luggage maker. Many, many sources are paid items or not independent. He seems to donate his work a lot, and this generates publicity, generally from the organization he donated to. There are no museum collections and no solo exhibitions in good venues. Overall I see one or two genuine reviews (the Bangkok post, for example, is decent, but an interview), and a whole lot of inflation and promotion.

Delete It appears to be part of an effort to promote A2Z Art Gallery (deleted under G12) and several artists that the gallery represents: Emeric Chantier, and Ann Grim (draftified and deleted), and perhaps Vivian Ho (artist) See [1]. Vexations (talk) 14:08, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
