Comment I've added a couple of ref links to his exhibitions in the UK in the 80s-90s. There is also evidence of a critical monograph, probably originally in English as the credited writer is/was an active art critic in the UK at that time, but I haven't located an English version. (But I'm not sure this is enough for WP:ARTIST criterion 4.) AllyD (talk) 17:21, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've added some links to the Museums and Galleries where it is claer that Mr Marko Modic had an exhibition. And I've changed the introduction text, with references from where the text is cited. I would be glad to know if I have to add/change anything else. Thanks for advice.3xdvanajst (talk) 19:01, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. According to [1], "the world art circles ascribe him a special position due to originality, difference and the colorfulness of his art works". He had a large retrospective exhibition in the Whyte Museum, Canada, in February 2011,[2][3] and another one in Tivoli, Ljubljana (125 photos).[4][5] He has been described as one of the most prominent and world-wide known Slovenian artists by several reliable sources.[6][7][8][9] I believe he meets the WP:ARTIST criteria 1 and 4b and is notable in general. --Eleassar ^{my talk} 20:34, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
