What is 15RR#CB about?

15RR#CB is a square-format abstract oil painting (130 × 130 cm) completed in 2024 by Claus Bertermann. The square is a format Bertermann returns to periodically as a deliberate formal constraint — a shape that refuses hierarchy, with no natural top or bottom, no implied direction of gaze. At 130 × 130 cm, 15RR#CB is concentrated rather than expansive. The reduced footprint compresses the sedimentary process into a denser chromatic field. The palette is among the most saturated in Bertermann's 2024 cycle: cadmium yellow and lemon push against magenta and rose, cobalt and ultramarine intrude from the upper register, and bands of deep crimson and amber emerge where the palette knife has cut down through the accumulated layers. The composition is built from a network of intersecting diagonal scrapes — knife passes that cross the surface at multiple angles, refusing to resolve into a single dominant direction. The alphanumeric title (15RR#CB) is Bertermann's serial notation for his abstract works. The code is intentionally non-narrative: these paintings are about the act of painting itself, not about reference. The square format reinforces that condition — without the implied gravity of a rectangle, the eye reads the surface as field rather than scene. 15RR#CB sits within a long tradition in abstraction in which the square is treated not as a conceptual gesture but as a material problem, from Malevich to Albers to Richter.

Is 15RR#CB AI-generated?

No. 15RR#CB is a hand-painted original created entirely by Claus Bertermann — Oil on canvas. All works by Claus Bertermann are made by hand. In a time when AI-generated imagery is increasingly common, every Bertermann painting is a unique physical object, never digitally produced.
