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. 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.

Lavoro intenso, molto bello, complimenti!!!

Love is such a strong emotion that it can sometimes blind us: just how well do we know our other halves, particularly in early times? This is a very effective reflection of that - he's so out of focus that she only gets a vague impression. Great work Gun :-)

Very nice effect bringing the "weaving" into the image to join them as in your words. Sometimes, the surface is the only thing that can be seen; probably everyone has tried to peer further at one time or another.

Oh yeah... I like this ALOT gun! It is almost like you plucked this out of my head... I can almost see myself creating this image. Kind of eerie when I think about it. So thought provoking that it pretty much forces me to look at it from many different angles just to see how many stories it can tell. Wonderful gun... simply wonderful.
cynlee
good question... go with your heart... luv the color & hazy impression... :]

The colors are stunning!! Love the texture as in all ur work! But I find this very anguishing! The question u ask that is! How can we be sure that we do know the other so well? What if we don't? Ooh! I don't want to think about this right now...too scary...! :( Wonderful image nonetheless Gun and, as usual, thought provoking! ;)

I see a child meeting an absent father for the first time, and the weave that binds them together are their shared genes. It is beautiful. I love everything about it, Gun. Definite Vote!
