Dear you cann't set an image value to NULL...
But.. But..! a good programmer must not has the word IMPOSSIBLE in his/her dictionary...

Now what you can do is. You create an image with same color as the colour of image item on canvas. When you want to clear the image just call that image and the user will feel that the image is cleared.

I'd rather hide image item; something like this simplified example:

:system.message_level := 25;

  read_image_file('image_name.gif', 'GIF', 'image_item_name');
  if not form_success then
     set_item_property('image_item_name', displayed, property_false);
  end if;

:system.message_level := 0;

In my opinion, that's an overkill; why, but WHY would you do the extra effort by creating an image which looks exactly like a form background and display this "nothing" when there's no real image to display? Just hide that item, for heaven's sake!

Or is there something wrong with me?
