Having made a name for himself in the 1980s with his small-format Neo-Geo paintings, Gerwald Rockenschaub later shifted to industrially manufactured materials like Plexiglas, Perspex and PVC sheeting to produce panels, curtains, cubes and other three-dimensional objects.

Throughout various developments over the years, his work has resisted a fixed stylistic classification yet remains marked by the consistent pursuit of the codes and patterns of everyday life. As described by the MUMOK Museum of Modern Art in Vienna: "Referring both to constructivism as well as Pop Art, it transports and transforms aspects of these past art currents into the present day. The common denominator here is reduction: a focus on the most essential elements of things and ideas."

Seemingly naïve at first glance but involving a highly complex working technique, Rockenschaub's more recent works make use of computer programs to create abstract images that are printed out on coloured foil and applied to aluminium panels.

As the art critic Harald Fricke wrote, "The use of this method causes the traces of hand-made work to disappear even more completely than in his earlier silkscreen prints: the image created is an expression of a visual culture which is no longer capable of designing without the use of electronic communication technology and its attendant devices. The medium of painting is code enough."
