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.
