Bárbara Allende Gil de Biedma was one of the visible faces of the social and artistic change of the 1980s in Spain
Bárbara Allende Gil de Biedma, better known as Ouka Leele, passed away on Tuesday a month before her 65th birthday, sources from the artist’s family report to the Efe agency. The photographer was one of the symbols of the Movida Madrileña, a movement she managed to create forever with her snapshots. After the 1980s, Ouka Leele continued to work on her art until she became a benchmark for her generation. His photographic work evolved from the pop and neo-dadaist aesthetics of the 1980s to more elaborate and poetic compositions.
Ouka Leele’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions and retrospectives. One of the latest was ‘Supernova’, organized by PhotoEspaña in 2021 in the Sala Goya of the Círculo de Bellas Artes, where some of his first works from the 70s and 80s were exhibited.
