He is a sculptor who also painted and worked with video, until he discovered glass as a medium for making his ideas tangible. Since then, he focuses on working with glass. Although glass is his material, his sculptures look as if they are made of wax, iron or ceramics. His work is sometimes called anti-glass. The transitory nature of life is the ever-present theme in his work, its organic nature alludes to nature. As he sees it, all art is about deceiving life, about creating something that is supposed to be there forever - although that is not what the artist wants. "() The nose is the organ the most vulnerable and defenceless of our senses and can relatively easily be overwhelmed. Joshua Rozenman (Israel 1955) experiments with this fact in his new installations The Glass House & The Wall. Two 3-D works representing a new genre in art. The Scent Still Life.".
