What is BBQD#CB about?

BBQD#CB is a square abstract oil painting (150 × 150 cm) completed in 2024 by Claus Bertermann. It is one of several square-format works from this period that demonstrate Bertermann's consistent engagement with the formal challenge of the square — a format that, at this scale, demands a different kind of physical and compositional attention. The square at 150 × 150 cm is large enough to be immersive but structured enough to maintain a clear internal geometry. Bertermann exploits this by working against the square's implied stability: the palette knife interventions in BBQD#CB run diagonally across the surface, establishing a dynamic counter-direction to the implied horizontal and vertical axes of the format. The result is a surface that appears simultaneously ordered and in motion. The "competing chromatic histories" visible in BBQD#CB's surface arise from the layering process: early sessions establish one set of color relationships; later sessions add new material that partially covers and partially reveals the earlier layers; the palette knife then cuts across the most recent accumulation, exposing material from different temporal moments within the same surface field. A viewer looking at different parts of the painting is, in effect, looking at different moments in its history — the painting holds time as a physical property.

Is BBQD#CB AI-generated?

No. BBQD#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.
