Small but Mighty.

HIJINX is a series of small paintings by O.M. Norling, that were released November, 2018

Six new paintings to be shown at the BASCOM in N.C., November 2019.

Excited to be showing here for the first time later this year. A few years ago, my wife and I spent an afternoon at the BASCOM on the recommendation of a friend. Instantly fell in love with the space as well as the art they had on display.

More details to come!

Highly Concentrated

Six brand-new paintings from O.M. Norling were released in November. These original works are visually rich, highly fun and everything the big paintings are, only smaller. Sizes range from 12″x 12″ to 24″x 36″.

Praise

 

It’s hard to imagine building a home around a piece of art, but I did exactly that. I instantly fell in love with the piece and knew it had to be the focal point of my home. The piece has such drama and whimsy that seeing it everyday fills me with the same joy it did the first time I laid eyes on it.

At his most recent show, I was beyond thrilled to come home with my favorite “Ornamentation, Secrets and Sanctuary”. A delightful doe balancing life’s challenges on the prettiest emerald green settee… It not only speaks to me visually, Wow! by the way… it puts a smile on my face every time I walk past and admire it. I notice a little something different… and am reminded that every moment is a gift!

I have two of O.M. Norling’s paintings at my winery (Au Bon Climat) so I can admire them daily…the imagery, richness of paint, and attention to detail is captivating. It is classic. I find myself constantly needing a closer look.

Catalog Description

Value: $12,500
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.
