As the petits gris vanished from the French railways, so too did many of the writers who once brought them to life. In this powerful second volume of Painted Graves, Olivier Scuro pushes deeper into the archives of a movement built on risk, devotion, and brotherhood, paying tribute to the talents who rode alongside Opak only to be lost too soon.
Picking up where Volume I left off, this book traces the final chapter of Opak’s quest to paint the last remaining legendary trains before their extinction. Through travels, flashbacks, and personal accounts, Scuro revisits the missions shared with some of the most influential writers of the era: Risk, Stone, Remo, Math, Nesh, Choc, Ruzd, Aone, figures whose impact on international graffiti remains indelible.
Across 248 pages of rare images and raw documentation, Painted Graves Vol. II brings together the work of Opak, Risk, Stone, Remo, Math, Nesh, Choc, Ruzd, Aone, and an extended cast: Kaos, Micro, Lyte, Sharp, Rough, Jiwee, Inxs, Pum, Honet, Riot, Foe, Vino, and many more.
