Concrete- in the background

Very often concrete serves as an unobtrusive and inconspicuous background for colourful artworks or other objects of any kind.

From colouring concrete surfaces with light and paints the industry came up with ideas of clever and decorative surface design.
New concepts of concrete such as photo concrete and graphic concrete have appeared recently.
