If Salvador Dali and Andrew Wyeth had a lovechild who grew up to paint with oils, this is what it would look like.

The mysterious O.M. Norling strikes again! A rising star in the art world, with his curious brand of visually arresting, eccentric still life compositions, Norling takes the art of metaphor to new and unexpected places.

This painting celebrates that most rare of social butterflies: one who is heavenly blessed with the gift of gab, and who, reliably, will always check his inhibitions with his coat. Norling’s metaphor takes shape as the majestic and unsuspecting he-lion bounds through open space in a dramatic but futile attempt to escape an attachment to the constant honk-honking of the vintage blow horn.

This is a must-have, one-of-a-kind masterpiece from the artist known for an obsessive attention to detail and a penchant for the unexpected visual twist. Add wine and this titan of talk will deliver lines that will both thrill and stir the pot with an almost David Copperfield-like wonder and flare. Tastemakers know, a high-spirited party simply can’t do without. Bid high or you’ll most certainly be without.
