Thomas Arvid Click HERE for Photos from Thomas's Visit! Thomas Arvid possesses an unerring ability to refine a moment. In doing so he captures our wonder and has become an art world phenomenon. Art Business News (May 2003) credits him with "launching a major art trend…" with his oversized still life compositions of wine and the rituals surrounding its consumption. Arvid's images astound viewers with their intricate details and his mastery of light, depth and reflection. The magic of his painting is in Thomas Arvid's ability to visualize and chronicle an entire scene beyond the frame - to tell a story of enjoyment and the good life - using lush color and adroit composition. Thomas Arvid is passionate about art and wine, a collector of both, he strives to capture the pleasure of a life well lived on each canvas. An Atlanta resident and fresh-faced father of two toddlers, the self-taught artist insists that wine should be approachable; his paintings are an embodiment of the casual way that we enjoy wine today. He is an appealing role model for a lifestyle of easy elegance and unpretentious charm. Drawn to wine by
his focus on the color red, Thomas Arvid knew he had discovered something
when his paintings featuring red wine were being purchased before they
were even finished. Arvid himself has been awed by the response to his
work, "Wine is a great subject because people are familiar with
it; they really connect to it. My paintings speak to the special moments
that people share when they share wine - it's amazing that my collectors
find a personal fulfillment in my work, especially when I'm just doing
what I love." |
