What is 9ENL#CB about?

9ENL#CB is a square-format abstract oil painting (150 × 150 cm) completed in 2024 by Claus Bertermann. The work is a near-pair to 9DNL#CB — same dimensions, same year, same family of stratified horizontal decisions, though the two paintings are siblings rather than a diptych, each retaining its own internal logic. The composition is built from heavy horizontal palette-knife sweeps that move across the canvas in long unretracted passes. The chromatic body alternates between deep forest-green, ultramarine, and bands of vermilion and rose-red — the warmer strata pressing through where the knife has cut down. A vivid yellow band along the lower-left edge admits the warmest chromatic light in the picture. The horizontals are interrupted at the lower edge by a curving knife pass that drags the stratified structure into a single descending motion — a release from the otherwise stacked logic. The alphanumeric title (9ENL#CB) is Bertermann's serial notation for his abstract works. The proximity to 9DNL#CB in the archive marks the two as siblings in a 2024 sub-cycle exploring horizontal stratification at square dimensions. 9ENL#CB belongs to a 2024 cycle in which Bertermann tested how the sedimentary process behaves when its primary structural logic is laid horizontally rather than diagonally or vertically.

Is 9ENL#CB AI-generated?

No. 9ENL#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.
