I've tried extremely hard to find something to prove R. Gopakumar exists, let alone been noticed. True, Saatchi Gallery (the bricks and mortar version) shortlisted him for their new digital art competition and he took part in an Italian exhibition with dozens of other artists in 2011. The remainder of the list of exhibitions claims a wide variety of venues, but it is a copypaste from his website and impossible to verify independently. There's no trace of a mention on the Tate Gallery website, for example. How this article can remain without some proof of wider notice, or significant award, I don't know!

It looks that his work is mentioned in multiple art books, see for example this or this (a profile in the book Neopoprealism Starz: 21st Century Art Compendium of New Millennium which might be a good starting point for our Wikipedia article) ... and what abnout the sources in foreign languages such as this one (copied on his Facebook page, originally published by Gulf Madhyamam Daily)? --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 15:48, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, at least we have proof he exists, which is a start! Sionk (talk) 15:54, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
