David Gerstein

Biography and CAREER of David Gerstein

David Gerstein, born in 1944 in Jerusalem, is a versatile Israeli artist: sculptor, painter, and a leading figure in contemporary pop art. A graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, he further refined his training at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, then in New York, before developing his own colorful body of work. Early on, Gerstein experimented with drawing, painting, and watercolors, but gained true recognition through his multi-layered metal sculptures.

Gerstein’s career evolved significantly in the 1990s, when he adopted laser-cutting techniques to create vibrant three-dimensional compositions designed for urban spaces. His work now spans several countries—from Singapore to Israel, via Asia, Europe, and the United States. He has created striking public installations, often on a monumental scale, fostering an intimate connection between art and its audience.

Each piece delivers a strong visual impact, measured in centimeters or meters depending on its scale, carefully adapted to its exhibition or public venue.
