About The Artist

David Gerstein, born in Jerusalem in 1944, is a renowned artist known for his diverse skill set, which includes painting, sculpture, drawing, and printmaking. Initially gaining recognition for his figurative painting and illustration, Gerstein's career took a significant turn in the late 1970s when he began to explore three-dimensional art. This exploration led to a novel technique of cutting out the primary subjects of his paintings, thereby eliminating the background and freeing the imagery from the confines of traditional frames. This method resulted in distinctive, free-standing cutout images that marked a pivotal evolution in his artistic practice, with a focus on vibrant colors and forms, primarily utilizing wood and industrial paint.

Transitioning towards a style influenced by everyday life and the principles of pop art, Gerstein's work began to incorporate primary colors and a vivid, design-oriented palette, distinguishing his post-pop art style. Influenced by artists like Roy Lichtenstein and David Hockney, Gerstein developed a second-generation pop-art style, moving away from the monochromatic tones of his earlier works. His innovative use of laser-cutting technology from 1980 to 1995 further distinguished his work, allowing him to create intricate, multi-layered cutout steel wall sculptures that blend sculpture with painting, offering an immersive visual experience.

Beyond his individual artworks, Gerstein has made significant contributions to public art, with notable installations across the globe, including England, France, and South Korea. These large-scale outdoor sculptures showcase his versatility and commitment to making art accessible to a broader audience. David Gerstein's journey from traditional painting to pioneering three-dimensional art has established him as a key figure in contemporary art, captivating audiences worldwide with his vibrant aesthetic, innovative techniques, and the universal appeal of his work.
