BIO Hi, I am Gun Legler from Sweden. I live together with my cat Simon in a little village near Gothenburg On the outside I am old, but young inside :-) For so long I can remember, I have enjoyed expressing myself through any kind of art or craft. Until I was 40 I worked as a child psychologist and pre-school teacher, but after that I said goodbye to my profession and began studying at an art school. There I stayed for four years, mainly learning Graphic art (etching, dry needle and linoleum cut). I was a lousy oil painter, that medium did not fit me at all, watercolor I liked better. For many years I made collages of different kind, watercolor and textile. I grew up with a mother that sewed and a father that built violins, so I early fell in love with textures of many kinds. I have now abandoned making textile collages, but I realize that I work much in the same way with my computer art. I take a piece here and a piece there and try to make a whole of it. And I am madly in love with textures of all kinds, I can sit for hours just playing with different colors, textures and filters, making backgrounds just for fun (and for upcoming images). I work very much by intuition when I make an image, experimenting wildly with layers, textures, color and light. But the form is equally important, that�s what Graphic school taught me. I have seldom a clear inner image when I start creating, it is more a feeling I want to express. The process can be quite unconscious to me for a long time. The image gradually takes form, and become clearer to me. What I want with my images is to reach the feelings of the viewers, to make them look into their own inner being and respond in any way, regardless of which feeling is evoked.

I am Gun's daughter Lena (zitalena@gmail.com). I am so, so sorry to tell you all that mom passed Tuesday morning, Feb 8 2022, Swedish time. No panic, no pain, no regrets. So peaceful. I tried to get a message about this on my moms latest picture, but now I can't find it. But now I have her computer and can log in. Please email me if you want. Thanks to all. Mom really loved the community!! Her gallery will live on. I have changed the address to mine, because me and my brother really would LOVE to keep her gallery open. Love to all.

This is perfect, your artwork, but the words are so true.....I think we all wear a mask, and play roles, and I know they do a lot to our innermost, no doubt....I understand this image very good.....and how you feel I guess

Excellent work! Love the mask and stockings....
Digimon
Wow! This is incredible! Reminds me of the work of Alphonse Mucha (A little) What a wonderful style! So playful! I think we need masks, unfortunately. We are such fragile creatures, really, it is often that we need to mask our true feelings, or we would have no friends at all....

Love your concept for the Joker Gun & you captured it with such beautiful colours & a really evocative design, great work ; )

This image collage is one of your most graphic in design and over all quality. It also has the feel the they printing is slowly fading but that someone has gone and very carefully added the red with gouache or watercolours to the stockings and lips. I also like how you have part of the frame under her, as with the feet, and then the other portion of the frames is above her, this makes it feel like her right arm is holding to it and she is hanging on, trying to climb out - rather than her appearance of just laying down upon a rug. I agree with Pascale when she says I would love to own such a deck. I know I would. Most excellent work Gun.

You've really captured the feel of aged natural media here Gun, good one. Really looks delicate enough to be half a century old :-)
