What is 80BJ#CB about?

80BJ#CB is a landscape-format abstract oil painting (150 × 180 cm) created in 2024 by Claus Bertermann. The 150 × 180 cm proportions sit between intimate and expansive — large enough that the viewer's central vision is fully occupied, contained enough that the entire surface can still be read as a single chromatic event. The composition is dominated by long, diagonal mauve and violet palette-knife sweeps that cross the canvas in a near-grid, forming an interwoven framework like crossed beams or shutter-slats. Through and behind that framework, the surface opens onto a more saturated chromatic field: deep emerald, crimson, teal, and warm ochre push forward where the knife has cut down to earlier strata. The effect is theatrical — as if the viewer is looking through a structural lattice into a chromatic interior that the lattice itself simultaneously conceals and reveals. The alphanumeric title (80BJ#CB) is Bertermann's serial notation for his abstract works. The code refuses any commitment to subject: even where the structural reading suggests architecture or grating, the painting is not about a built thing. It is about the material event of the lattice and the chromatic depth it both screens and exposes. 80BJ#CB belongs to a 2024 cycle in which Bertermann let the palette knife act not only as scraping tool but as compositional armature — the knife passes themselves becoming the picture's primary structural feature.
