About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Black Manhattan bathes New York in the molten glow of evening light. Painted in oil on canvas, Castan layers vivid oranges, yellows, and deep blues to create a dramatic play of warmth against cool shadow. His abstracted cityscape style allows the verticality of the skyscrapers to rise like glowing pillars, framing the avenue’s vanishing horizon.
The palette knife technique brings a tactile richness, with thick impasto catching the light and enhancing the vibrancy of the sunset colours. Reflections ripple across the slick streets, blending architectural form with painterly abstraction. The interplay between precise geometry and expressive gesture gives the work both structure and spontaneity.
Through Black Manhattan, Castan captures the fleeting magic of the city in transition — the brief, electric moment when day gives way to night, and New York takes on its evening brilliance.
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.
