In the series Sprayed, pages of graffiti magazines are covered with spray paint to erase graffitis shown inside the magazine. In Sprayed Silver, an entire magazine is dismantled and repainted. Pages with advertisements are removed for the composition and leave an empty space that dynamise the composition.

This new set of painting realized with silverchrome paint shows traces of the original image (trains, architecture, etc…). The urban space becomes ghostly under the effect of chrome paint, a paint that also recalls the process of silver photography and silver salts.
