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.
Proud to be featured on Check it out! My other galleries. http://gun-legler.artistwebsites.com/
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.

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.

Good lord this rocks out loud. Both sweet and sad and oddly hopeful all at once. Fantastic work.

The message is even bleaker if you take the vaguely talon-like shadow in the left foreground, coupled with the bird's looking precisely in that direction, as a hint of foreboding and need for particular urgency. The other birds (upper right) are well away from the terror, but our bird has got a late start.

The background is meloncholic in it's tones, but the stark white of the foreground bird seems like hope.

As mentioned above,the talon breaked image in the foreground(shadow)"exsists",it is part of either the environment,society,our own humanity,our dreams and inner selves etc.etc..It "is".The beauty of this piece is the sense of trying,of perhaps,of attempting to lift above,of one day when the wings will lift us to freedom.

Lovely and hopeful!

I love it! Yeah yeah, it has already been said in different words but the contrast here is perfect. The birds in the background look to me like scavengers. This image is a beautiful nightmare.
