Concrete Canvas: High resolution photos & prints

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.

These breathtaking images are created with meticulous attention to detail... the final results are spectacular.

Piech's Concrete Canvas series is beautiful — the images really look like abstract paintings from across the room. But on closer inspection, there is so much detail that you can’t seem to take your eyes off of them.

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.
