Thomas Arvid Release Party At Vinings Gallery - One Night Only

Feb. 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Vinings Gallery is pleased to announce an exclusive Release Party for Atlanta-based artist Thomas Arvid's newest limited edition: "Lifting Everyone's Spirits," on Friday evening, March 5th from 7 to 10 p.m.

Once again, Arvid raises the bar with this latest release. Featuring an assortment of the finest premium spirits, this artwork is a stunning first for the America's foremost painter of wine. With its vibrant color, Arvid's well-stocked composition is a mastery of precision. The light and shadow in the transparent liquid within each bottle is captured with amazing dexterity and serves as a dynamic backdrop to the finely detailed texture of the labels. In contrast, the striking blue and amber introduce a new palette for the established artist--one in which Arvid explores new depth and reflection. Artfully arranged in a ten-bottle collection, "Lifting Everyone's Spirits" is a classic Arvid - with a twist.

Entertaining is perhaps the third most common activity at the Arvid household, not to be outdone by painting and strumming the ukulele. With a constant throng of after-school visits, neighbors, and those lucky enough to stop by for supper, it's easy to see why Arvid takes so much pleasure in a full bar: "I love to unwind with a glass of wine, but it's great to know that when my friends and neighbors stop in, I can make their favorite cocktail."

Vinings Gallery co-owner Gary Handler says that the delightful deviation of subject matter in "Lifting Everyone's Spirits" is a long-awaited departure for the artist and will be enthrall established collectors and those new to Arvid's work. "Not only will Arvid's long standing collectors resonate with this piece, it will engage a whole new audience. We could not be more excited to host this exclusive event with one of Atlanta's most beloved artists, Thomas Arvid."
