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.

Ascrazy say it all..i love it very much...Bravo!

Beautiful colours Gun. I really like the texture and the fact you can "almost" see the eye. The composition works well with the curve of the geometric shape within the texture forming the bridge of her nose...
soooo how do you develop such great textures? :) scott

cynlee
the texture & image are great in this- you consistently hold me in awe with your fascinating works! :]
gallimel
teh texture adds that softened atmosphere that you add like a caress to all subjects.. but still... this face with no elements to define it stays as a riddle and a dark wish inside.. pushing... and makin us wonder what reduced her so, what pain cause her face to vanish. Intense and beautiful work :)
Sunster
Powerful image and atmosphere!! Stunning textures!! WOW! :)
Synapse
Visually I get a feeling of being in utero, but the emotional response (from the swishing curves of the texture) is one of disturbance, as if she's forcing herself to remain outwardly calm while inside she's screaming. Emotionally charged work, and aesthetic as usual :-)

Sheesh, I'm running out of things to say about how your work affects me gun. You have been kicking out so many incredible works of art for so long that my vocabulary is nearly used up!

Nice color and textures. Isn't it interesting how your mind often fills in the missing pieces? I can see a whole face with very little effort.
