What is 94BV#CB about?

94BV#CB is an abstract oil painting (130 × 150 cm) completed in 2025 by Claus Bertermann. It belongs to the active phase of his current abstract production — work made with the accumulated technical knowledge of decades of practice but without the retrospective distance that characterizes a "period" work. This is painting in the present tense. The 130 × 150 cm format — wider than it is tall — introduces a subtle horizontal emphasis that Bertermann works with rather than against. The broader dimension encourages extended, lateral palette knife passes that cover the full width of the surface in a single motion. These long strokes are among the most physically demanding in his practice, requiring sustained pressure across a significant distance and a readiness to commit to the full length of a gesture without retraction. The title code 94BV#CB marks the work's place within Bertermann's archival system — an alphanumeric identifier that connects it to the wider body of abstract practice without assigning narrative content. In conversation, Bertermann has noted that the coded titles protect the abstract works from being interpreted through biographical or representational filters: the painting is not about anything except its own material existence. What remains constant across all of Bertermann's coded abstracts, including 94BV#CB, is the commitment to making the painting's history visible. The layers accumulated during the creation process are not hidden by the final surface — they are, in part, the final surface. The scraped passages reveal not just color but time: the record of a specific moment in the painting process that has been excavated and made permanently visible.

Is 94BV#CB AI-generated?

No. 94BV#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.
