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.

Disturbing and not a little frightening. I think the slight red shading adds to the "fear" feeling.

Viewing this makes me think that a fitting subtitle could be 'The Abuser Returns'. Excellent portrayal of something so potentially dark and ugly. Thank you for sharing this with us!!

Dark, moody and the texture and coloring convey perfectly what you are trying to say. I hope she survives. ;o)

She has lost already by assuming a submissive posture. Excellent expression.
Angelwave

Makes my heart beat a triple time tatoo Gun, for it looks too scary and familiar! Excellent atomsphere and mood!
Ensomniac
Who she sees and what she's thinking are a mystery. She almost has the look of someone who's been caught steeling. It's intesesting how many who have commented automatically assume that she's in danger. When the title only suggests a confrontation. About what and with who is'nt clear. Maybe, she's been sleeping on the job, maybe a girlfriend is about to confront her about a lie she told and she knows she knows. Maybe, this was meant to provoke anger towards men. Certainly if the title were "The Rapist," I would share that anger. Maybe there's something I don't know about you. Whatever the case, your artwork is intriguing.

Very evocative and intense. You've created a strong piece here - the use of color and lighting and graphical texture to set the tense mood is excellent.

Agree with Ensomniac- she has the definite look of guilt, but the mystery here is we can imagine what trouble she is confronting. Your art makes my head work overtime!
