“We are thrilled to have established such a wonderful relationship with someone as talented as Thomas Arvid,” said Vanessa Hall, corporate director of Art Galleries of the Kessler Collection. “The opportunity for people to be able to spend time amongst such great company and so many new and exclusive pieces of art paired with exemplary wine is truly a rare one.”

About the Artist

The magic of his painting is in Arvid’s ability to visualize and chronicle an entire scene beyond the frame — to tell a story of enjoyment and the good life — using lush color and adroit composition. Arvid is passionate about art and wine, a collector of both, he strives to capture the pleasure of a life well lived on each canvas. The self-taught artist insists that wine should be approachable; his paintings are an embodiment of the casual way wine is enjoyed today.

He is an appealing role model for a lifestyle of easy elegance and unpretentious charm.

Arvid was named one of the “Top 25 Artists You Should Know” by U.S. Art Magazine and has emerged as one of the foremost painters of American Realism. The Grand Bohemian Gallery proudly features Arvid’s work throughout the U.S.
