Iranian artists are making waves in the international art scene by drawing upon the rich history and traditions of their native country. Exploring conflicts between modernism and tradition, the artists are painting the paradoxes of contemporary life, providing rare insight into their social and cultural evolution.

Acknowledging the growing interest in Iranian art, London’s Opera Gallery is hosting an unmissable exhibit of prominent Iranian artists including Alireza Fani, Reza Derakshani, Yasmina Alaoui and Marco Guerra.

Until 10 December, 2009. Opera Gallery, 134 New Bond Street, London W1S 2TF, UK.
