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.

Lledeline
Well done. Great imagination.
MarkusVogt
very interested technique - has something "plastic wrapped" - great !

Or have you gone to the opposite.... We all need to follow a pattern where we line up our in neat and tidy lines. We then tear it all apart, it is a rythm and a a order we are all tied to... Great texture and very inventive, it is always interesting to see how a theme can be broken and rearranged by an artist yet still be satisfied. Great work!!

A fortunate meeting of concept and craftsmanship

Oh yeah... this is COOL! This really does make me think about chaotic disorder... of a mind that cannot stay on any one given path. It makes me think of a visual representation of Attention Deficit Disorder. I fell in love with this one the moment I set eyes on it.

I am so very happy that you've added it to the gallery too :)As I wrote in the forum, I can perfectly perceive the rushing of an intention that needs effort to be accomplished, and sufference, and even hertly shattering tension, through all of the scratches of this beautiful texture. A very intense work dear. Like everything you do, it touches me so deeply :) Luv :)
