Visiting the Saatchi gallery by Sloane Square after it's return to 'normal' (it was home for the summer to a Rolling Stones exhibition) I was reminded what a pleasure it is to spend time there- big spaces and the opportunity to get close to the works set it apart from many London spaces.
Some of the work on show I was seeing for a second time like the multiple canvases of
Julia Wachtel and the highly detailed faces of
Jelena Bulajic.

What stood out to me on this visit though was the work of the enigmatic and somewhat reclusive French artist
Henri Barande and in particular his take on The Last Supper (as far as I and some other visitors could decode).

And still on the art theme here's a Mondrian- influence tile arrangement at Pimlico
