Rachid Ben Ali (born 1978, Taza, Morocco) is a controversial Moroccan-Dutch painter.
In 2001 and 2003 he had shows in the Tanya Rumpff Gallery in Haarlem, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Wereldmuseum in Rotterdam.
Queen Beatrix chose one of his paintings to introduce an exposition in the Stedelijk Museum.
In 2003 he won the KunstRAI award for young artists,[2] and in 2005 40 of his most recent paintings were shown at the Cobra Museum of Modern Art in Amstelveen, near Amsterdam.
He went into hiding after death threats related to an exhibit showing "hate-imams" spitting bombs.
