Driss Ouadahi’s “Schlusslichter” Acquired by The Stadtwerke Düsseldorf Collection

The Stadtwerke Düsseldorf company has acquired Driss Ouadahi’s striking painting Schlusslichter (2023) during the exhibition DIE GROSSE at the Kunstpalast Museum in Düsseldorf, held from 29 June to 3 August 2025. The acquisition underscores the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting contemporary art and engaging with works that reflect on urban experience, architecture, and societal structures.

 

Schlusslichter exemplifies Ouadahi’s signature exploration of geometric abstraction and the social and political dimensions embedded in urban environments. The painting’s monumental scale and layered composition evoke both physical structures and metaphorical thresholds, inviting viewers to reflect on concepts of space, order, and collective memory. By adding this work to its collection, Stadtwerke Düsseldorf continues to strengthen its cultural engagement, celebrating artists whose work resonates with contemporary urban life.
