The digital magazine Bonart highlights the exhibition Ouka Leele. Barcelona 1978–1980 focusing on the decisive years in which the artist began to build the visual imaginary that would shape her entire career.
The article delves into the period between 1978 and 1980, during Spain’s Transition, highlighting how Ouka Leele’s work moved away from documentary photography towards a hybrid language that brought together painting, performance, and the oneiric.
The publication also underlines the importance of the Peluquería series and of the hand-applied colour interventions on black-and-white photographs, a process that would eventually define one of Ouka Leele’s most recognisable visual languages.
