Israeli painter and sculptor David Gerstein's exhibition "No Favourite Color" is being held at The MixC. Entry is free.

He began as a figurative painter and illustrator of children's books and was a recipient of the Israel Museum Prize for Illustration. Gerstein's post-pop art style is characterized by boldly colored, multi-layered cutout steel. His outdoor sculpture "Momentum" is Singapore's tallest public sculpture.

While continuing to develop his art in the 1990s, Gerstein's painting style constituted a direct link to the balconies and the Dead Sea, depicted in the 1970s and 1980s. The series of automobiles created during this period presents people traveling in a car from the perspective of the spectator "peeping" in at the passengers through the front windshield.

Similar to the motif of peeping into Tel Aviv balconies, here too, Gerstein chooses the perspective of the outsider looking at the driver through the windshield while at the same time reflecting the surroundings. The series was created in Paris during Gerstein's residency at the Cite Internationale des Arts, 1990-1991.

In 1995, after years of woodcutting, Gerstein discovered the use of laser and began cutting metals and painting them in shiny colors taken from the car industry. He worked with Tzaki Rosenfeld, son of Eliezer Rosenfeld, owner of the mythological Rosenfeld Gallery, for seven years.

He has produced a line of work influenced by sports, such as marathon running, swimming and bicycling (exemplified by the works "Tour de France," "Yellow Shirt" and "Armstrong," after Lance Armstrong). Other motifs are urban landscapes, nature (cows, birds and flower vases) and human behavior ("Heads," Jazz Players). His workshop and gallery are located in Jerusalem's Talpiot industrial zone. He is the owner of two galleries, in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

Gerstein is known for his outdoor sculptures, many of them decorating city squares. His sculptures can be found at the entrance to the Rehovot Mall, Ra'anana Park, Avdat and on the campus of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His sculpture of a Roman warrior is in Bromford, London.
