Additional comments
This article was quite rightly tagged for its resemblance to this piece. Investigation shows that the bulk of the content entered in July 2008 in a series of edits by User:Duchampstoilet (for one example, see [1]). While the material was basically established by September, however, it continued to grow. In July 2009, a different editor added material in this edit that is also in the external site. The earliest archive date of that external site is October 2010, although that isn't definitive as to date of publication. More strongly indicative of backwards copy is that multiple editors added this content over the sequence of a year. Very likely, they copied the article at some point before this August 2010 edit. --Moonriddengirl(talk) 14:26, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
While looking to fill in some of the missing citations, I noticed most of the text in the 'Career' section is identical to that found in the full description of the artist, at http://www.terminartors.com/artistprofile/Tyson_Keith. Though Terminartors is a 'community based' website, there is nothing to attribute the text to Wikipedia, so I'm not entirely sure which was written first. It will be worth a second opinion! NB the Terminartors piece says "his most recent exhibition ...was in December 2007". Duschampstoilet added the 'Career' section to the Wikipedia article in August 2008.

Thank you for flagging this for investigation. :) You're certainly right that it needed looking at. I believe they copied from us and have explained why in the template above. --Moonriddengirl(talk) 14:26, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
