July 16-August 20, Artist Reception July 16, 4-6pm; Tu, We, Fr, Sa 10:00-5:30pm, Th 11-7pm
Utilizing architectural motifs, Ouadahi makes large-scale paintings that borrow from the history of modernist grid painting & traditional Islamic aesthetics, while tackling the difficult & timely topic of human migration.
Ouadahi asks us to consider the political & psychological aspects of boundaries & the relationship they have to ethnicity & social class, through representations of three types of architectural imagery: glittering cityscapes, claustrophobic subway tunnels, & photo-realistic pictures of chain link fences.
Hosfelt Gallery will present new paintings by Ouadahi influenced by the artist's interactions with Syrian and Iraqi refugees who have re-settled in Germany.
