Israeli born artist Ben Rotman deals with
the medium of painting in broad terms For Rotman who always worked
in oils, using the digital workspace changes almost everything save
the final appearance of his work. Rotman's digital creations present
a virtual space with the same fluidity and tactility as oilrcolor
paint. An intimacy with digital tools allows Rotman to emulate the
deckled edges, bleeding, and the layering sensations of traditional
oilrcolor, all with an illusionist bent. |

Instead of seeing pixels and digitally produced noise, one sees the
trained
hand of a painter very much in touch with the language of
traditional modernist abstraction. Appearing in and out of his washy
build up of colors are hints of figuration. These bodily apparitions
suspended in a dream world of color field abstraction are hints of
what inspires Rotman. He paints about, ”Women, Nude,Drawing, Music,
Dance and politics." Rotman has studied art in Europe and Israel. |
