About the Item
This dynamic oil on canvas by Daniel Castan is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
In Black Manhattan, towering skyscrapers slice upwards into a sky bleached to white, forming a narrow, electric corridor through the heart of the city. Rendered in a limited grayscale palette, Castan's textural brushwork and palette knife precision evoke the gritty architecture of Manhattan with unflinching clarity.
Tiny sparks of yellow—streetlights and taxis—glow like embers, bringing heat to an otherwise cool, imposing world. The composition's verticality heightens the sense of scale, pulling the viewer into the vortex of New York’s relentless energy.
Stripped of colour but full of movement, Black Manhattan pulses with urgency and momentum—a portrait of a metropolis in monochrome.
Artist Biography:
Born in 1959 in Dordogne, Daniel Castan draws from a very young age. He graduated from the School of Fine Arts of Bordeaux. When he was 40 years old, he started painting again just for the pure pleasure of it. At age 48, he left everything to follow his dreams. At the beggining of his professional life Daniel Castan travelled a lot to New York and Hong Kong. He had a special fascination for the urban world and their exaggerated perspectives. In his paintings, he tries to recreate these graphic environments. The lines of the buildings get lost in the sky, the long avenues seem endless, the colors collide. The artist works direclty from his memories and imagination. Daniel Castan chose to paint with alkyd oil. This kind of oil works just like classical oil, but the binder in it, is a kind of resin that allows accelerated drying. His favorite tool is the knife, it allows him to work with paste, and to draw in different materials.
