About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. In Brooklyn Heights, Daniel Castan captures the energy of New York City through his signature abstracted cityscape style. Painted in oil on canvas, the work layers bold knife strokes with luminous colour contrasts, portraying the city as a place of perpetual motion and light. The composition’s vertical pull draws the eye deep into the streets, evoking the feeling of being surrounded by towering skyscrapers.
The palette is a dazzling interplay of amber golds, rich oranges, and soft blues, suggesting the transition between day and night. The reflective wet streets mirror the warm glow of lights, creating an atmospheric depth that brings the viewer into the scene. Castan’s textured approach blurs the boundary between architectural detail and expressive abstraction, allowing light and colour to take precedence over rigid form.
Here, the artist’s dynamic technique transforms the familiar urban grid into a living organism. The city seems to breathe and hum with energy, while each brushstroke adds rhythm and vitality. Brooklyn Heights is not merely a depiction of a place — it’s an invitation to feel the pulse of New York at its most alive.
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.
