Roman Warrior
David Gerstein’s Roman Warrior is a striking 5-meter-tall public sculpture located at Gallows Corner in Romford, Greater London. Created in 2000, the artwork features a stylized Roman soldier rendered in Gerstein’s signature cut-out steel technique, painted in vibrant automotive colors that give it both depth and energy. Fusing ancient history with a contemporary pop-art aesthetic, the sculpture transforms a historical icon into a playful, commanding figure that enlivens the urban landscape. It stands as a bold cultural landmark and a testament to Gerstein’s ability to bring color, movement, and accessibility to public art.
