Driss Ouadahi Show Sees Modern Life Filtered Through A Mesh

The artist Driss Ouadahi’s solo show, Breathing Space, at the Lawrie Shabibi gallery in Dubai, explores the implications of these social housing projects. Ouadahi’s paintings question the temperament of an age that would allow such an urban affront to proliferate – whether in direct examinations of such buildings, or barbed-wire fences rendered with an oppressive ­exactitude.
