David Gerstein's work displays a childlike imagination.

Paint The Town

JCC gallery features diverse works
by Israeli artists.

W

hen Demi Moore, Nicole
Kidman, Celine Dion and
Alicia Keys step out for a
big evening, they often wear jewelry
with a distinctive sparkle, a colorful
swirl of sea-blue, cherry-red or bright-
yellow Swarovski crystals dancing in
designs by Israeli artist Michal Negrin.
Seventeen years ago, Negrin left her
kibbutz and moved to Tel Aviv, where
she opened a small shop and sold
handmade jewelry. Today, Negrin's
necklaces, earrings and bracelets are
found not only throughout Israel, but
also throughout the world.
Samples from Negrin's collection
also are on their way to Metro Detroit.
From June 14-Aug. 7, the Jewish
Community Center of Metropolitan
Detroit's Janice Charach Gallery
will host "Fresh Paint from Israel,"
an exhibit highlighting the work of
Israeli artists including Negrin, David
Gerstein and Rachel Timor.
The exhibit, co-sponsored by
the Danielle Peleg Gallery in West
Bloomfield, is a reflection of the JCC
gallery's commitment to emerging
Jewish and Israeli artists, especially
in this, its chaff (18th) year, and in cel-
ebration of Israel's 60th birthday, said
gallery director Terri Steam. "We will
have something for everyone, from
jewelry to landscapes, oils to really fun
pieces by artists like David Gerstein!'
Gerstein, famous for his bright,
whimsical creations that can be seen
at the Israel Museum, developed an
imagination early on. He and his twin
brother created worlds from pieces of
cardboard and to this day, he writes,
art is like his "bread and water and
air!' His works are "fruit that the tree
has sprouted. I don't have to invent
anything or wrack my brain on how to

process a grandiose idea: Things sim-
ply grow by themselves."
Rachel Timor's career also had
humble beginnings. Timor started out
painting on the inside of dresser draw-
ers; today, she is known for her paint-
ings that duplicate the charming world
of childhood photos.
"It's a diverse collection:' Steam says
of the new exhibit, with items that
reflect the past (Michal Negrin's style
is Victorian) and the present (bright,
simple pieces are especially popular
in Israel today) and show a distinctly
Israeli style, both Middle Eastern and
influenced by the European culture
into which many of these artists, and
their parents, were born. All works will
be for sale, with something for every
budget, Steam says.
Danielle Peleg spent months
researching exactly which artists to
bring, focusing purely on "quality"
"It's a phenomenal show, with all
different kinds of media: etchings and
oils — and all different subjects" she
says.
"My goal was to bring a 'fresh paint;
a fresh look [at Israeli art], to the com-
munity; so most of these artists are
new to us, and all of them are excited
to be showing in Michigan." ❑
