Inside Zenith

Lawrie Shabibi is pleased to welcome back Driss Ouadahi for his second solo exhibition with the gallery. Fresh from being awarded the Grand Prix Léopold Sédar Senghor Prize at the 11th edition of Dak'Art, the Biennial of Contemporary African Art in Dakar, Senegal earlier this year, 'Inside Zenith' brings together a selection of new paintings and some works on paper. Continuing his preoccupation with vacant urban environments at the margins of cities in Africa and Europe, these works share a new dreamlike perspective, they feel less literal, moving towards abstraction, the lines blurring between reality and the artist's imagination.
