Gerwald Rockenschaub’s early work can be classed under the label “Neo-Geo” (New Geometry), a movement of the 1980s. Its lucid and accurate visual language harks back to the abstract art of the modernist avant-garde but also incorporates elements of everyday culture: some of Rockenschaub’s nonrepresentational paintings bring the pop aesthetics of commercial logos to mind. Basic geometric shapes and vigorous color contrasts invite a wide variety of interpretations and visual associations. This work is still painted by hand; for later creations, the artist uses a computer, systematically paring down the features that show his hand and having his installations and sculptures manufactured out of industrially produced materials.
