Thomas Arvid
"Life without art is like dinner without wine."
With his remarkable, bold paintings of wine, Thomas Arvid has earned himself a national reputation as a rising star. His work is showcased in galleries across the country and he has been seen in numerous publications, including articles in the L.A Times and USA Today. His paintings are found in many prominent collections, and they are a particular favorite amongst wineries and vineyard owners who acknowledge Thomas as today’s preeminent painter of wine.
Influential wineries such as Silver Oak Cellars and Diamond Creek Winery collect Arvid’s because he translates the craftsmanship of wine to canvas. Doug Shafer, of Shafer Family Vineyards, likens Arvid's skill to that of a winemaker, "Arvid's style is big and bold, with enough selected detail and softness to create a sense of balance . . . this blend of elements is precisely what winemakers hope to bring to their top vintages.
But it’s not just the wine lovers and makers who are taken with Thomas’ work. With his original, refreshing approach to the still life, and the passion he brings to it, he has captured the collective imagination of wine connoisseurs and art collectors alike. For perhaps the first time, these diverse markets have found a common bond with Thomas’ images.
But why wine?
Thomas explains it best himself:
At first I focused on red. It’s a universal color, the color of passion. So many of our cultural icons are red: Coca-Cola cans, Radio flyer wagons, Campbell’s Soup cans, Converse tennis shoes. I painted them all. And red wine. Little did I know when I created my first painting of red wine that it would become my passion. Wine is a work of art. Winemakers are truly artists and the community amongst them is a creative, artistic community. They put the same passion into crafting wine that I put into the composition of a painting. Just like art, wine means different things to different people.
Why wine? The answer is evident. Because Arvid is, in addition to a painter of wine, a lover of wine and his passion for his subject and the good life evokes through the creation of oil on canvas his own personal symphony of unique compositions that have made him the premier still life artist of wine.
