We drink it, but we’ve never seen it like this before.

On September 23, 2011, nationally recognized and collected artist Thomas Arvid will be at Dzian Gallery for a meet and greet. The event, “An Evening with Thomas Arvid” will be held from 6:00-9:00pm at Dzian Gallery at 65 Water Street in Worcester. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet the renowned artist and view his artwork, including his two newest pieces, “Golden Opportunity” and “Private Moment.”

This will be Arvid’s second visit to Dzian Gallery. “We’ve had the pleasure of having Thomas here before, and it was a fantastic evening. We’re really looking forward to having him here again for this event,” said David Papazian, who owns Dzian Gallery with his wife Gina Papazian.

“Wine is a great subject because people are familiar with it; they really connect to it. My paintings speak to the special moments that people share when they drink wine together – it’s amazing that my collectors find a personal fulfillment in my work, especially when I’m just doing what I love,” said Arvid.

The magic of his painting is in Thomas Arvid’s ability to visualize and chronicle an entire scene beyond the frame – to tell a story of enjoyment and the good life – using rich color and masterful composition.

Thomas 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. An Atlanta resident and fresh-faced father of two young sons, the self-taught artist insists that wine should be approachable; his paintings are an embodiment of the casual way that we enjoy wine today. He is an appealing role model for a lifestyle of easy elegance and unpretentious charm.

It is clear from his beautiful works of photorealism why his paintings are so feverishly sought after throughout the U.S. and internationally!
