What is 81BJ#CB about?

81BJ#CB is a landscape-format abstract oil painting (150 × 180 cm) created in 2024 by Claus Bertermann. The work is a near-pair to 80BJ#CB — same dimensions, same year, same family of structural decisions, though the two paintings are not identical and were not produced as a diptych. They are siblings within a 2024 sub-cycle in which Bertermann tested how much variation a single compositional grammar could absorb. The painting is built around a horizontal stratification of saturated chromatic bands — crimson, emerald, ochre, and dark forest-green — cut and crossed by long curving palette-knife sweeps in deep violet. The diagonal violet passes operate as both structural armature and scraping tool, dragging surface pigment laterally while exposing buried color along their edges. A pocket of dawn-amber and rose presses through near the upper register, the painting's only chromatic concession to warmth-as-light rather than warmth-as-mass. The alphanumeric title (81BJ#CB) is Bertermann's serial notation for his abstract works. The serial-number adjacency to 80BJ#CB is itself a statement: in Bertermann's archive, related paintings are recorded as related, but each retains its own identity within the series rather than being collapsed into the other. 81BJ#CB belongs to a 2024 cycle in which Bertermann let horizontal stratification and diagonal knife passes operate in deliberate dialogue across multiple related works.

Is 81BJ#CB AI-generated?

No. 81BJ#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.
