"Phases" Mural by Kevin Bednarz and Tonia Crawford

"Phases" was a four-panel graffiti mural by artists Kevin Bednarz and Tonia Crawford representing the vibrancy, color and excitement of Tysons Corner Center throughout the seasons of the year. Each panel stood alone in composition, but they also worked together creating a seamless flow and blended style from the two artists.

About the Exhibition

ArtLords Curator and President Omaid Sharifi has selected thirty artworks representing the wide range of paintings from ArtLords artists. The artworks are in varied sizes, styles, mediums, and each one tells a different and fascinating story. The artworks range from paintings 36 by 24 inches oil on canvas to 16 by 12 inches acrylic on wood and rare miniature paintings.

The paintings were rescued from Afghanistan when the Taliban took over in August 2021. The artworks have travelled from Afghanistan to Uzbekistan to Turkey to France to the United States. Additionally, some of the paintings are painted by the recently evacuated artists of ArtLords from Afghanistan who are settled in North America.
