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.

Being lost is a horrible feeling for a young child!!!!! You've captured that look perfectly!!!!!!!
Tutte
Another wonderful image Gunsan. I feel like you are my alter ego. I can relate to this image not just on a personal level but Globally. It makes me think of all the poor kids in the Middle East today and perhaps that was your motivation. We are still all children and at times feel very lost. Love it and I thank you for expressing it so profoundly.
vlaaitje
his expression is splendid....your title fits perfect with it....

I agree with Tutte, at first sight it reminded me of the Middle East conflict, but then I saw it might as well be a child that lost it's mother in the crowd. Either way, I love you use of colors, excellent work!

Very poignant Gun! Wonderful work with color on B&W. This gives me a twinge at the fear this child must be feeling.

GEEEEEEEEENIOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS!!!!! I agree with everything Marlene just said, and i would like to add that there are many great painters, photographers, 3D-renderers and so on....but not that awfully many artists. But you my friend...you definitly fall under that category. Ha en trevlig tisdag...mdag? Vad det f dag idag? #:o/ Semester-skadad verkar det som. #:oD

The background and its shapes are just as powerful as the boy.
ssamm
Wow, that is a great piece. I love the contrasts -- it goes well with feeling out of place with the environment. Also the kid's expression is great -- subtle and authentic. I really admire your work.
danob
