Concrete Canvas: Bleecker & Mott
1,233 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Manhattan, New York City
Manhattan, New York City
Dan Piech's "Concrete Canvas" series captures the accidental beauty that serendipitously occurs when the concrete beneath New Yorkers' feet is inadvertently graced by spilled paint, fallen debris, expanding cracks, chemical stains, and other delightful visual elements. An avid runner, Piech has spent over three years traversing every single Manhattan street in search of these overlooked "artworks" that have become part of the fabric of the city.
As the founder of the VAST artist collective, Piech uses advanced imaging techniques and equipment to create unprecedented gigapixel-quality photographs that capture every intricate detail of these ephemeral designs. The exceptionally high resolution photographs are then printed in large formats, resulting in impeccably precise physical replicas of the walkways.
Each Concrete Canvas piece embodies the unique soul of New York and challenges us to find beauty in the overlooked, the accidental, the minuscule, and the transient.

Print only
The type of print we create for this VAST photo is called a "giclee print." Giclee prints are fine art prints made using the highest quality, state-of-the-art inkjet printing processes and materials. Our printer uses pigment inks (not dye-based inks) carefully laid down onto premium paper substrates to ensure the maximum amount of vibrancy, saturation, and color reproduction. Click on the icons below to learn more or click here to explore further.
Your print comes with two certificates of authenticity hand-signed by the artist and the printmaker: one that you will affix to the finished piece and one that remains standalone. Additionally, your print's provenance is tracked and verified using state-of-the-art digital technology. Learn more.
Canvas print
Our ready-to-hang canvas displays are made using a specialty printer that carefully lays ink down onto archival-quality fine art canvas material made by industry-leader Fredrix. The canvas material is then stretched around a 1.5 inch thick wood brace with the photograph appearing to wrap around the edges of the piece. Additionally, our canvas material has a delightfully matte finish that doesn't show any reflections and looks spectacular in any lighting conditions. Click on the icons below to learn more.
Your canvas display has two certificates of authenticity hand-signed by the artist and the printmaker: one affixed to the rear of the canvas and one standalone. Additionally, each print is assigned a unique serial number via a permanent hologram seal and recorded in our registry. Its provenance is tracked and verified using state-of-the-art digital technology. Learn more.

Aluminum mounting rail
Float-framed print
This frame style mounts one of our giclee prints inside a handcrafted frame made from the highest quality Italian wood. The mount causes the print to appear to float effortlessly within the frame and the resulting gap between the print and the frame border acts as a visual mat, providing depth and elegance to the piece.
Your piece has two certificates of authenticity hand-signed by the artist and the printmaker: one affixed to the rear of the frame and one standalone. Additionally, each print is assigned a unique serial number via a permanent hologram seal and recorded in our registry. Its provenance is tracked and verified using state-of-the-art digital technology. Learn more.
