You may
have to wait years for one of Thomas Arvid's coveted
original paintings of wine, but you can still put
his delicious work on your table in time for the
holidays. “Arvid: Redefining the Modern Still Life”
features more than eighty vibrant color images of
Arvid's larger-than-life oil paintings, sketches and
collages along with insight into the artist's
lifestyle, inspiration and imagination.
The book pictorially traces Arvid's career from the
first wine painting he did more than a decade ago
through the images that motivated Art Business News
(May 2003) to proclaim he “launched a major art
trend … with his super-realistic paintings of wine”
to the incredibly detailed and finely crafted
paintings he creates today. His work is featured in
more than fifty of the finest galleries in the U.S.,
Canada and Japan, and collectors are willing to wait
four years for one of his originals. Limited edition
reproductions of his paintings often sell out the
day they are released. |

Arvid's
appeal stems from his ability to capture a moment
and subject that is both familiar and special. Arvid,
a frequent visitor to Napa Valley and a passionate
wine collector, shares, "My art is about more than
wine. The paintings, like wine, are about
celebration, sharing a moment and an experience with
another person. I take the time to see and explore
details, just as you do when relaxing with a glass
of wine." Critics praise Arvid's work as
"masterfully" painted. Art historian Maria Phillips
writes, "His engagement in the process of painting
results in images whose presence transcends the
subject matter at the same time it meticulously
describes it...creating in his present body of work
a memory of great promise for the future."
A beautiful
hard-bound coffee table book, “Arvid: Redefining the
Modern Still Life” sells for $75. It is also
available in a special collector's limited edition
which sells for $1250. These special collector
leather-bound books are presented in a wine crate
custom-made in Napa Valley and include three
pen-and-ink limited edition serigraphs. The
serigraphs and book are hand signed and numbered by
the artist. This is a must for Arvid Collectors.
