Into the wild

A Norwegian digital artist blurs the boundaries of the wilderness and the creatures that inhabit it

(Andreas Lie)The job of merging two pre-existing photographs seamlessly together requires a keen eye, Lie, 24, says, and he is constantly considering the compatibility of various stock photos, wondering how an animal's fur will combine with the forests' trees, or whether a tail is bushy enough to house an entire mountain range.

(Andreas Lie)By blending the animals' furry coats with their woodsy surroundings and placing the subjects in a softly muted space, Lie limits the images' context to the creatures themselves. In doing so, the artist says he seeks to remind us that animals are offspring of the untamed wilderness that surrounds them — and that the unpredictable forces of nature and its beasts remain inexorably intertwined.Below, step into Lie's wild world — but watch your back: You never know what's lurking close behind.
