Uncork The Splendor of Thomas Arvid

O What A Night

Thomas Arvid will return to The Key West Gallery January 27^th and 28^th for another amazing show.  Set against the backdrop of The Key West Food & Wine Festival, the Thomas Arvid show will be the perfect event for any art or wine enthusiast.   Blending together his two great passions, Arvid’s love of wine and art combine on canvas to make some the most sought after new pieces of art.  



Lifting Everyone's Spirits



Thomas Arvid has been credited with starting one of the most riveting art trends in recent years.  Arvid’s vast still life compositions of wine and the rituals surrounding its consumption captivate viewers.  With realistic, oversized images of wine in the bottle, being poured and resting in a glass Arvid’s paintings make the observer almost taste the wine without ever opening the bottle…although Arvid does recommend a glass or two of his subject matter. 



This show will feature a large variety of Arvid’s pencil sketches, hard to find original oils and embellished giclées.  As a collector himself of both wine and art, it is easy to see Arvid’s appreciation of both and the dedication he puts into creating every work.  These unique pieces of art are not simply attractive; they are a sample of the good life and the celebrations that come with it. 



Livin Large



Not only has Thomas Arvid shaken up the art world, his work has found a place in the wine the world as well.  Knowing excellence when they see it, world renowned wineries such as Silver Oak Cellars and Diamond Creek Winery have become avid collectors.   Arvid has even challenged the traditional thought of a canvas, painting some works on authentic wine crates from some of his favorite wineries. 



Like a great glass of wine, a Thomas Arvid painting will provide hints of hidden colors, subtle tones where least expected and of course a desire for another taste.  Fortunately, an Arvid painting never runs dry as even the best bottle of wine eventually empties. 



Join us for a wonderful weekend with Thomas Arvid, his amazing works and an excellent glass of wine January 27^th & 28^th.  To RSVP or learn more about Arvid’s work please visit our gallery at 601 Duval Street or contact our consultants at (305)923-1696 or keywestgallery@bellsouth.net.
