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.

The colours are beautiful and the whole effect is very syncopated. Very interdimensional.

Reminds me of the book, "The Time Machine". Stunning and another side to your mind. Have a great week my friend. Egmont

Nice work - creates a definitely mysterious atmosphere. Evokes two things for me - one is the underground London world in Neil Gaiman's book "Neverwhere" & the other is the early scene in the movie "Ghost" where Patrick Swayze's character is killed & the shadowy ghosts swoop in...

I must say that this is my favorite of your many works of artistic genius. You never disappoint and you always impress me with your art.

Here it is! And it looks absolutely gorgeous! The atmosphere is above all reality, dreamlike lightness of the dark figures, almost like shadows but yet lively characters. The alley has no end, no start, and there's one who hasn't given up for seardhing the way out of this endless dead-ends. Depends on the point of view if this is a nightmare or a liberating experience - I choose the latter one. :-) Excellent work Gun, and this is such a great addition to the theme!

Wonderful surrealistic art. Imagine if we could see beyond our own reality. We might be living a more urban existence than we realize. ;)
nongo

Your art is always worthwhile to study and one I enjoy the most. It has so many facets to observe and the style changes each time...just phenomenal.

Dark mysterious colors and figures. It gives me a sorta gritty, grunge, futuristic impression of a place i don't want to visit!
