Klapheck's subjects through the years have included (in order of introduction) typewriters, sewing machines, water taps and showers, telephones, irons, shoes, keys, saws, car tires, bicycle bells and clocks. With sharp precision and intense colorfulness, Konrad Klapheck creates real scenarios, often with a touch of the oppressive or the fantastic. His subsequent paintings, often large in scale, are precise and seemingly realistic depictions of technical equipment, machinery and everyday objects, but strangely alienated they are "monumental, amusingly absurd and sexually suggestive". Klapheck's works of the mid-1950s are in a magic realist style that became more idiosyncratic when he painted the first of his typewriters. From 1954–56 he studied painting under Bruno Goller at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.
