About
In Painted Graves Volume 2, Olivier Scuro keeps digging into graffiti archives and pays tribute to friends lost too soon: travels, flashbacks, and the quest that comes to an end. Most of these trains—painted or not—have now disappeared as well. 248 pages featuring Opak, Risk, Stone, Remo, Math, Nesh, Choc, Ruzd and Aone, but also Kaos, Micro, Lyte, Sharp, Rough, Jiwee, Inxs, Pum, Honet, Riot, Foe, Vino…
2001. After a decade of railway graffiti, Opak and the SDK crew stop painting trains in France, caught up in the legal system. Twelve years later, SNCF accelerates the scrapping of the country’s most beautiful trains and officially announces the death of the famous “petits gris.” That’s the trigger—Opak goes on a quest to paint all these legendary trains one last time.
In the form of a logbook, Olivier Scuro reveals in the first volume of Painted Graves (available here) the details of this adventure and its origins in the 1990s.
At the time, the most talented graffiti writers from the international scene join them on their missions. Among them, Risk (Finland), Stone (France), Remo (Switzerland), Math (Netherlands), Nesh (Austria), Choc (Belgium), Ruzd (Germany), and Aone (USA)… All passed away at the height of their passion.

Olivier Scuro, better known by his alias Opak, has been painting trains since 1990. 35 years later, he chronicles his journey through words and images, crafting unconventional photo-novels. In 2025, Painted Graves lays the cornerstone of this ambitious edifice.
