London, UK. 14 May 2018. A staff member views "Me and Her", 2017, by French-Iranian artist Sassan Behman Bakhtiar, at a preview of the artist's exhibition called "Oneness Wellness", at the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea. The colourful works draw on thousands of years of Iranian culture, weaving ancient Persian motifs, patterns and landscapes into large-scale mixed media paintings, recalling the Zagros mountains in South West Iran, still home to the Bakhtiari tribe, from whom the artist is descended. The show runs 15 to 27 May 2018. Credit: Stephen Chung / Alamy Live News
