About the Item

This captivating oil on canvas by Daniel Castan is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Named after the stunning solar alignment phenomenon, Manhattanhenge is Castan’s tribute to a rare, golden moment when the setting sun slices directly through the Manhattan grid. Blazing reds and oranges flood the city canyon, casting every surface in molten glow. The composition draws the eye down the glowing corridor of buildings, whose edges shimmer with heat and light. The abstract layering of pigment adds energy to the composition, transforming the cityscape into a living, breathing force of nature. Manhattanhenge is an ode to awe and alignment—where nature briefly dominates steel, glass, and street. 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.
