Sassan Behnam–Bakhtiar Sassan Behnam-Bakhtiar (born 1984 in Paris, France) has been dubbed ‘the multitalented renaissance artist of his generation from Iran’ by The Huffington Post in 2014 and ‘A man on a mission to inform the world of the true nature of Iran’ by Harper’s Bazaar Art in 2015, Sassan Behnam Bakhtiar’s work is the carrier of an essential understanding that drives one to speak of his subjects based on their physical and mental individualism, as well as their trace in history. Considered a citizen of the world without boundaries, Sassan is driven by his opinion of the truth that is communicated to the outside world via his signature artistic forms of expression, portraying a different Iran than the one being seen through the lens of the media – a necessary alternative view stated by The Huffington Post U.K Bakhtiar has exhibited worldwide, including in Abu Dhabi, London, Los Angeles and New York. He is based in the South of France.
