Through Windows, Through Walls: Driss Ouadahi at Hosfelt Gallery

Originally trained as an architect, Ouadahi seems keenly aware of the failures of modernist urban planning, while also open to the intoxication of the endless grids and semi-abstract vistas to be found in massive apartment blocks. That ambivalence, as his sterile-feeling plots mutate into lush color and disorienting perspective, lends a human and subjective note to large paintings where traces of the human figure are conspicuously absent.
