Through his stunningly realistic compositions of wine, Thomas Arvid has
redefined the modern still life, setting an unmatched precedent in the
art world. Uniting a remarkable eye for photo-realism with a genuine
talent for abstract composition, the self-taught Arvid offers an
innovative commentary about a familiar subject, one he finds
inexhaustible. As Arvid explains,with my paintings, there is never a
complete subject; everything is interrupted. I show fragments of things
and your mind creates the rest of the image. Wine is a great subject for
this because it has so many elements: hot and cool surfaces, fluid,
wood, chrome, cloth. But most importantly, it is familiar. You know it,
so your mind fills in the composition with your own experience.
Acclaimed for its ability to capture a traditional subject in a
startlingly new style, his work has been featured in many influential
publications, including Wine Spectator, US Art, Decor, Points North and
Art World News.
