Are Claus Bertermann's works human-made?
Yes. Every work is hand-painted on canvas or linen. Bertermann's practice is entirely human-made — no AI-generated imagery, no digital production. The accumulation of oil layers, the physical resistance of the surface, the decisions made and reversed over months: this can only be made by hand.
What scale does Claus Bertermann work in?
Claus Bertermann works primarily in large format: triptychs up to 200 × 600 cm, single canvases from 150 × 150 cm up to 200 × 200 cm and beyond. The scale is not incidental — it is architectural in origin, shaped by his training as a qualified architect.
