David Gerstein, a self-confident painter, gazes with a semi-ironic smile at our fervor-ridden reality. As though everything around him were merely atoms engaged in a mad race, which in itself generates reality, and if not for that race everything would plunge into black holes or madhouses. Reality as a pointless race is the subject of several of his works, such as: "Marathon" and "The Great Marathon". The free standing sculpture is a hand- painted Serigraph on cutout steel.

The image of the bicyclist is inspired by the legendary bicyclist Lance Armstrong.      

Height: 13.8 in.

A Jerusalem native and resident, David Gerstein has studied at the most respected art academies in Israel, London, Paris and New York. His well-known, three-dimensional wall sculptures are rich in color, dynamic in character and fanciful in execution. Gerstein witnesses daily activities and mundane objects and transforms them into vibrant works of Happy Pop Art. In addition to the many private collections and galleries that house his creations, David´s work can be seen in prominent public installations and museums throughout the world.
