His work ranges from painting to writing, whereby he saw himself as a "painter and poet".

His painterly work is divided into 5 phases:

  • Work until 1964: The pictures from 1959–1964 are first objective, then abstract. Dealing with material in any form was an essential point. Sand pictures were created where sand, varnish, oil paint was pressed out of the tube. But paper, fabrics and canvas in the most varied of coarseness were also used. From 1964 the transition from collages to typefaces came.
  • 1964–1972: The collages such as the "Weltbildcollage" brought text as a structure into the work and thus the examination of the type, the individual letter, the reduction of the type. At this point I met the Paris Lettrists .
  • 1972–1985, Typefaces: The encounter with the Parisian Lettrists was formative for Mike Rose. After hypergraphic attempts, Mike Rose developed the "Signs in Signs". The "super character" is supplemented by small and small characters and forms a holistic statement. Rose created motifs in black and red on rough canvas. The following "large character series" represents the reduction of the series mentioned above. Eugen Gomringer wrote about Mike Rose: "Today he can quite rightly be called 'The German contribution to Lettrism'."
  • 1985–1995, Multidimensional Pictures: During a trip to Spain, Mike Rose came up with the idea that real and imagined space can enlarge space through reflection, e.g. B. through mirrors. With multiple reflections, the space increases even more. Likewise, the Cubists had already redesigned the phenomenon of space by drawing different perspectives together. A series of icons before an inspiring trip to Greece set new thoughts in motion. The space was associated with letters and symbols. For Rose, space and signs had a similar relationship, mainly because of their infinite possibilities. The "multidimensional constructions" emerged. After a further examination of the space and the various possibilities of perception, the "multidimensional spaces" and "multidimensional thinking" emerge.
  • 1995–2006, Emotional: After the phase of multidimensional images, the focus was on emotions. Enlightenment dialogue, togetherness and self-awareness were the most important concerns and the legacy of the artist. Eva Harker comments: "These descriptions of the state of the soul in lavish, colored picture writing encourage you to give in to the feeling, the spontaneity, the moods and to become aware of your own imagination. But not only the person as a self-centered individual is addressed, but the person as a fellow -Man in context with his environment. "

He created sets for the following pieces, among others:

In addition to his work as a teacher, painter, set designer, sculptor and writer, Mike Rose occasionally devoted himself to music, especially free jazz .
