Painted Graves Box Set Signed Edition

Olivier Scuro, aka OPAK, is a famous French graffiti artist who has made a name for himself throughout Europe since the early 1990s. In the legendary Dirty Handz films, he, his SDK and WUFC comrades, and fellow graffiti artists left their mark on European graffiti history with their extraordinary panels and whole cars. In 2001, he was forced to stop painting trains in France due to the massive and effective police investigations against him and his friends.

During the Covid pandemic in 2020, OPAK began work on the first volume of Painted Graves, followed by work on the sequel later that year. The limited-edition Painted Graves Box Set includes both volumes in a high-quality magnetic slipcase and comes with an original publisher's signature. But that's not all: Painted Graves Relics is a third additional book available exclusively as part of this collector's box set.

“I browse old archives, matching images with fleeting memories. But soon it all comes flooding back. In the quiet theater of my mind, this is what didn't make the final cut of 'Painted Graves.'”

The 10.5 x 14 cm paperback volume contains not only rejected photos, but also numerous previously unpublished pieces accompanied by introductory texts with further information on the locations, their history, missing shots by writers of the time, and the revisiting missions to paint the rejected trains. The 156-page volume includes shots by ALL, BYOFA, CHEF, CHILL, COKNEY, DIOS, DOING, DORK, FAME, FANCIE, GOAT, HONET, INOK, INUPIE, INXS, JUNKY, KAZE, KRASH, MANK, MEOT, OAME, PEPSIE, PIFER, POES, PUM, RENO, REMO, REW, RISK, RUZD, SEAR, SHEIK, SIME, SKEME, STAR, WEEDY, and ZEVO.

The box set is limited to 660 copies and collects hundreds of shots by the best European trainwriters on a total of 700 pages!
