About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. In Blue Manhattan, Daniel Castan presents New York through a cool, dreamlike lens. Using oil on canvas, he builds the composition with thick, confident palette knife work, lending structure to his abstracted skyscrapers while allowing them to dissolve into a haze of atmospheric blues. The long stretch of the avenue vanishes into light, guiding the viewer’s gaze down the city’s heart.
The dominant palette of icy ceruleans and deep navy tones is punctuated by small bursts of red and yellow, hinting at the life and motion that never stops in the city. This chromatic restraint amplifies the sense of crisp winter air and the quiet clarity of a cold morning in Manhattan. Castan’s manipulation of edges and texture creates a balance between solidity and dissolution, echoing the city’s constant evolution.
More than a snapshot of an iconic street, Blue Manhattan feels like a moment suspended in time. The composition invites reflection, offering a rare stillness within the metropolis. It’s an homage to the beauty of New York not in its busiest state, but in its quieter, more contemplative hours.
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.
