Zeehan Wazed interprets his Bangladeshi heritage through the language of
street art and digital media, creating an imagined memory
that's both locally situated and global. Drawing on the aesthetics of Queens, where he grew up, Zeehan takes inspiration from graffiti culture and internet visuals to create a unique form of artistic narration. Neehan presents a visual language that is both nostalgic and contemporary, finding an aesthetic to speak to the act of living multiple places at once.
Zeehan Wazed (b. 1991) is a Bangladeshi-American artist
based in Queens, NY. He attended Baruch College where he earned a degree
in Perceptual Psychology. In addition to being a recognized fine artist
and a freestyle dancer, he has also made his mark all over New York
City with his murals. He has murals at the Arthur Ashe Stadium, World
Trade Center, JFK, and massive murals in his native borough of Queens.
