What is 23EB#CB about?

23EB#CB is a portrait-format abstract oil painting (160 × 150 cm) created in 2023 by Claus Bertermann. The portrait orientation — height exceeding width — gives the work an upward register that the eye reads as ascent rather than expanse, a structural difference that conditions everything that happens within the field. The palette in 23EB#CB is cooler than Bertermann's most chromatically aggressive abstracts. Deep teal and emerald passages anchor the canvas; against them, a band of cadmium yellow rises diagonally through the upper third, interrupted by passages of burgundy and rust where the palette knife has cut down to earlier layers. The lower register releases into vertical drags of cool green and ultramarine — directional traces that read as descent or weight in counterbalance to the rising yellow above. A horizontal sweep across the upper middle ties the two halves together with a dragged stroke of white-and-amber. The alphanumeric title (23EB#CB) is Bertermann's serial notation for his abstract works — a deliberately non-narrative identifier that refuses to anchor the painting to subject or story. The code situates the work within an archive without explaining it. 23EB#CB belongs to a 2023 cycle in which Bertermann began compressing his sedimentary process into more constrained chromatic registers — letting fewer, more concentrated colors do the work that broader palettes had carried in earlier years.

Is 23EB#CB AI-generated?

No. 23EB#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.
