The artist Thomas Arvid in his wine cellar
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....

Getting together with friends is always a welcome adventure, but none more so than getting together with the Wine Club. Anticipating the excitement of opening exceptionally good wines, everyone brings something special to the table. Weeks of contemplation and multiple forays into the cellar searching for the hidden gem that will cause friends to gasp in shared delight culminates in an evening of toasts, laughter and just one more bottle . . . Despite a hectic studio and travel schedule, Arvid always looks forward to seeing friends and neighbors at his own wine club night: " It's great to meet with friends who are as passionate about wine as I am. You have to educate your palate and talking about wines with those who are like-minded helps to expand my knowledge." From left to right: Shafer, Dalla Valle, Cakebread Dancing Bear Ranch (paw prints), Hundred Acre, Matriarch, Joseph Phelps Backus and Plumpjack.

 "Winding Down" 36 x 36 giclée on canvas 325 signed and numbered 135 Artist Proofs, hand embellished by the artist The perfect start to a great weekend, “Winding Down” reacquaints us with a familiar icon in this quintessential Arvid composition. Often replaced by modern, high-tech gadgets, the double lever remains a symbol of the effortless beauty of opening a great bottle. Magnified to enhance the detail in every curve, the grand scale of the pull creates an undeniable presence of simple enjoyment. Often asked about his monumental compositional style, Arvid identifies himself as an American Realist: “In our country, the supermarkets, cars, freeways – they are all larger than life. It’s a reflection of our culture and something that is distinctly American. For me, art needs to be big so that you can see all of the detail up close: that’s the magic of modern art.”
