What is 9DNL#CB about?

9DNL#CB is a square-format abstract oil painting (150 × 150 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. The composition is built around strong horizontal palette-knife sweeps that divide the canvas into stratified bands — a structural decision more often seen in Bertermann's landscape-format works, here pressed against the square's lack of preferred orientation. Deep forest-green and dark teal dominate the body of the painting; passages of crimson, vermilion, and chartreuse-yellow emerge along the band edges where the knife has cut down to warmer underpainting. A pale near-white void sits slightly below center, where multiple knife passes have removed pigment back to the lightest exposed strata. The alphanumeric title (9DNL#CB) is Bertermann's serial notation for his abstract works. The serial-number proximity to 9ENL#CB marks it as a sibling in a 2024 sub-cycle in which Bertermann tested horizontal-band logic at square dimensions across related works. 9DNL#CB belongs to a 2024 cycle in which Bertermann let his sedimentary practice settle, in certain works, into deliberately stratified horizontal structures — testing whether the knife's lateral logic could carry a composition without diagonal counter-events.

Is 9DNL#CB AI-generated?

No. 9DNL#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.
