Concrete Canvas
Ultra-high-resolution photographs of the NYC sidewalks
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, sinuous cracks, fallen debris, chemical stains, and other delightful visual elements. An avid runner, Piech has spent over half a decade 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.

Piech's years of hard work searching for and photographing these exquisite sidewalk segments really shows. His goal with the series is to have us appreciate the beauty that surrounds us, even when it appears in the most mundane and unexpected of places.

The beautiful photographs in this series are extremely versatile. They can be hung on your wall vertically or horizontally! Additionally, they are each offered in four size options so you can always find a piece that fits your space.

We absolutely love the Concrete Canvas piece and have had countless compliments on it since it went up on our wall. It looks great in our entryway where it's one of the first things people see when they come into our home.
