Thomas Arvid

Thomas Arvid has achieved spectacular success and national acclaim with his still-life compositions of wine and the rituals surrounding its consumption. The self-taught artist translates abstract composition and a talent for portraying light and color into sumptuous, super-realistic oil paintings of wine. Atlanta-based Thomas Arvid unites the aesthetics of art and the sensual complexity of fine wine in his large-scale paintings that leave collectors and critics begging for more. He is redefining the modern still life with his refreshing portrayals of fine wine. Highly defined and richly textured, Arvid's paintings tell a story beyond an enjoyment of the good life. The viewer happens upon a moment in time; the half-filled glasses, hastily discarded cork and corkscrew, and empty bottle of wine relates a scene manipulated by Arvid's imagination. However, the viewer, as voyeur, is free to make up their own story, creating a personal connection between the viewer and the art. Perhaps this explains why Arvid's work has achieved such widespread popularity.
