Israeli artist displays cut-out sculptures

Israeli artist David Gerstein, 73, loves observing small animals, especially butterflies whose beautiful colors and dancing amaze him. He also likes watching crowds of people that make him feel the energies of city life. Although he is not good at sports, he is fascinated with the grace which athletes demonstrate.

He transforms his affection for these things into cut-out sculptures, with a series called Butterfly, Sports, Beach and Urban. The series is now on show in Beijing, as part of his China debut exhibition titled Layers, through May 16.
