ARTIST

David Gerstein's works put a smile on observers' faces.  The vibrant colors, in which the sculptures are decked, cavort and leap forward in a lively dance.

It is not difficult to recognize Gerstein's works - throughout the years of productive work, he has succeeded in formulating and refining a unique and singular style.  This style is first and foremost distinguished in the merger between painting and sculpture, color and form, and uncommon blend.  However, this fusion is not only perceived externally, it is also felt in the works themselves, and primarily in the subjects that they raise.  Modern life is presented in an ironic and amusing light: the incessant bustle of pedestrians and travelers, the comical look scrutinizing the sacred cows of urban life, the interminable consumer society.

Gerstein amasses from art history, as well as from the treasures of warm human experience, which he absorbs in his ties with people.  He conveys these same elements through the conduits of acute perception, and the consequence is a rich and warm flow of love.
