Reversed Grounds [2022]
Solo at Albada Jelgersma Gallery, Lijnbaansgracht 318 Amsterdam

Our Land [2008]
Solo show at Motive Gallery Amsterdam, 2008
"Rothman turns 'Our Land' into a field of possible views on those who shaped and underwent the fates of what has become an unmasterable past." more
Iconography I, Iconography II [2006/ 2007]
"In this way, these fragmented visions undermine the iconic and solid nature of their models while also, paradoxically, producing powerfully suggestive works, the ghost-like appearance of which - between complete presence and absence - provide them with a new mythical dimension." more
