Meet "Shalva" the calm cow whose name means tranquility. Though she is a humble and unpretentious laser-cut steel cow sculpture, her exterior reveals the funky and fun-loving dimension of her personality. Shalva essentially synergizes the simple unsung aspects of life and nature with the naive and youthful appreciation of all of G-d's creations.
Gerstein's art is aptly described by art-critic Naomi Aviv, "[Gerstein employs] shiny, sensual colors that celebrate life and its fullness, with their television-like flickering and their lack of guilt and conflict."
