About
Thomas Arvid
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar exclusively
features Thomas Arvid’s work in all Fleming’s throughout the country. Fleming’s
annual 46 Diamonds release label also features artwork by Thomas. He is
releasing three new pieces at the Chicago event. All artwork will be available
for sale at the event.
A self-taught artist, Thomas Arvid is famous for his
wine paintings, which tell the story of enjoying the good life. Arvid was
inspired to paint wine because of his connection to the color red. When people
started buying his paintings before they were completed, he knew he had tapped
into something unique. He is known for saying, “Life without art is like dinner
without wine. Why bother?” His paintings are featured in over 50 galleries and
collected internationally because of the way they translate the craftsmanship
of wine.
