Spray-painted designs on clothes have become a global trend, quickly gaining popularity as a way to elevate otherwise simple outfits. This style is catching on not only in Western fashion markets but also in Bangladesh, where spray paint designs are now being used on everything from clothes to shoes and accessories.
While major brands and independent businesses have dominated the market, there’s a hidden gem in the streets of Dhaka that’s catching the attention of many. A local Bangladeshi spray paint artist recently gained widespread recognition after appearing in a reel filmed by famous content creator Andrew Ghisoni, known for exploring the world in search of talented spray paint artists. The video has already racked up over 200,000 views!
The artist, who was paid 50 euros to paint a brown leather jacket, began with a simple and surprising approach. Using only household items—like a lighter, newspaper, and sponge—he transformed the jacket into a stunning piece of art. The end result? A breathtaking nighttime scene with moonlit skies and waterfalls, a reflection of nature’s beauty. Ghisoni and others were left in awe of the artist’s ability to turn an ordinary item into something extraordinary.
The video and the artist’s work quickly garnered praise from people all around the world, including many from Bangladesh. It’s a reminder that while Bangladesh is often associated with foreign designer brands, there are many talented local artists working in the streets who deserve recognition.
So next time you’re looking to refresh your style or adopt a new look, take a walk through your city. You might just stumble upon another incredible Bangladeshi artist whose work deserves to be celebrated.
