About David Gerstein
The Israeli artist David Gerstein (born in 1944 in Jerusalem) studied art in Paris and New York. He is one of the most important contemporary sculptors not only in his home country but is also an internationally established figure. Since 1972 he held numerous solo and group exhibitions internationally and is also working as a lecturer.
Fascinated by novelty as well as the unusual, he breaks with known norms and develops his very own signature style by combining the most diverse stylistic elements. Gerstein's works of art and three-dimensional metal objects are lively colourful fireworks of strong expressiveness that tell little stories – inspired by life. Unconventional and witty.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures made of wood, ivory, or stone are carved directly from the material block, in bronze casting, a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
