Between 2010 and 2023, graffiti artist DELTA produced an extensive series of paintings on the freight wagons of Deutsche Bahn, Germany’s national railway company. Artworks combining white paint with black spray paint were applied to more than 700 wagons. This anthology of DELTA’s train series, designed by Sandra Kassenaar and Bart de Baets, documents nearly all of these works, each one unique. Rather than present wagons chronologically, it groups them in conceptual series, emphasising the artist’s fluid process. Additional images and explanations by the artist offer insight into his attitude towards impermanence, as well as thoughts on the tools, site, or execution.
