About the Item

Immerse yourself in the pulsating energy of New York City with "Lights, NYC," a captivating original cityscape painting by renowned artist Daniel Castan. Crafted with oil on canvas in his distinctive abstract style, this mesmerizing artwork offers a dynamic portrayal of the city's bustling streets and iconic skyline. At the heart of the composition, the viewer is transported to the vibrant streets of New York, where horizontal reflections of towering buildings shimmer on the pavement below. A central strip of white paint draws the eye, cutting through the urban landscape and enhancing the sense of movement and depth within the scene. Amidst the cityscape, sleek black cars line the streets, their forms sharply contrasted by the vivid red glow of their tail lights. This pop of color adds a dramatic flair to the painting, capturing the frenetic pace and electric atmosphere of New York City after dark. The color scheme, characterized by shades of blue, white, black, and red, evokes the dynamic contrast of light and shadow that defines the city's skyline. Each brushstroke is meticulously executed, conveying the artist's mastery of technique and his ability to capture the essence of urban life. Signed by the artist, "Lights, NYC" is a striking testament to Castan's skill and vision, ready to be displayed and admired in any setting. Available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online, this captivating artwork invites viewers to experience the timeless allure of New York City through the evocative brushstrokes of Daniel Castan. 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.

  • Narciso
    Located in Milano, MI
    After touring Europe on a motorcycle, he arrived in Berlin in 2012, where he won a residence for artists with a pictorial series on massification and nihilism. In 2014 he was invited for a residence in Colombia, and subsequently he has travelled to Mexico, Guatemala and Cuba. The experience of Central America affects his painting so much that it becomes gestural and dominated by strong and bright colors. Contact with indigenous communities contributed to the formation of his thought and poetics, which suggests accessing an irrational dimension that cannot be explored through science and technology.
