#Behave – Graffiti Artist Makes Dhaka City Urban Again

By

In modern times, paint (particularly spray paint) and marker pens have become the most commonly used graffiti materials. In most countries, marking or painting property without the property owner's consent is considered defacement and vandalism, which is a punishable crime.

Graffiti may also express underlying social and political messages and a whole genre of artistic expression is based upon spray paint graffiti styles. Within hip hop culture, graffiti have evolved alongside hip hop music, b-boying, and other elements.Unrelated to hip-hop graffiti, gangs use their own form of graffiti to mark territory or to serve as an indicator of gang-related activities.

"BEHAVE"

One of the rare street artist/muralist based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. He is introducing depths of graffiti, a modern art form the nation is yet aware of. Deciphering thoughts into art, he has developed a unique style which is equally captivating on walls as it is on canvas.

With the surfacing urban culture based in Dhaka, Behave and his vibrant set of colors seemingly became noticeable in the outskirts and metastasized far beyond north of the city since early 2014. With his pseudo name being a message itself; graffiti writing ranging from classic throwies to wild styles and mid-Gothic calligraphic hand styles were passionately his initial signatures.
