Driss Ouadahi (born 1959 in Casablanca, Morocco) is a contemporary Algerian painter and architect who trained, works, and lives in Düsseldorf, Germany. Ouadahi's work features abstracted architectural forms found in real Algerian housing structures. Themes in Ouadahi's works surround politics of class, religion, and ethnicity relating to ideas of boundaries and otherness. One of his most recent shows, Systeme der Abgrenzung (Systems of Demarcation), opened at the Heydt Museum in Germany on February 25, 2018 and one week before l'un et l'autre at Palais de Tokyo, Paris in a group show.
