Understanding Chrome Lettering
In the world of graffiti and street art, chrome refers to a style of lettering filled in with silver-colored aerosol paint. This technique allows for easier application on various mediums compared to colored spray paint. Chromes, characterized by their silver fill, often grace urban spaces, railway lines, and subway tunnels. Despite prioritizing readability, chromes can possess stylized elements akin to traditional graffiti works.
Chromes in Pantin
Pantin, France, serves as a canvas for numerous examples of chromes. The city’s brick and concrete surfaces perfectly accommodate this form of lettering. Chromes, executed in silver aerosol, adorn both the exteriors and interiors of buildings throughout Pantin. This urban landscape provides ample opportunity for Sead, Apu, and other artists to showcase their chrome-style artworks.

Sead and Apu collaborated on the “Chrome – Sead – Apu” project as part of GRAFFITI GENERAL in Pantin, France. While Sead takes the lead in this endeavor, Apu stands as a co-creator, contributing to the creation of these chrome-style artworks.
Conclusion

Their collaboration has brought forward an array of chrome-style works, accentuating the urban landscape of Pantin with silver-hued lettering, blending readability with artistic stylization in this expressive form of urban art.
I am a mural enthusiast and a fervent admirer of street art. Rather than creating murals myself, I am passionate about collecting them. My love for street art knows no bounds. I am dedicated to curating and cherishing these artworks that grace the streets. My collection stands as a testament to my profound appreciation for this form of artistic expression.
