Description
Bjørn Lie is a Norwegian illustrator who lives in Fife (Scotland) with his wife Lindsey, his sons Jude and Arran and his intense cat Margot. Since graduating from Falmouth College of Arts in 2001, Bjørn has slowly but surely developed a unique and personal visual language. Driven by a love of experimentation and inspired by outsider art, natural curiosities and noir films, Bjorn’s work tends to be playful and bold, yet rich in detail and texture. There is a certain strangeness to his work, but also a lot of warmth and beauty. As well as doing commissions for a range of clients around the world, he also finds time to do his own artwork and book projects. He has written and illustrated three children’s books and illustrated several others. The yearning for Norwegian nature has long been a feature in his work, most notably in his book “Slapsefjell” (Magikon forlag, 2008) which has been translated into several languages.
