What is BEMV#CB about?

BEMV#CB is a wide landscape-format abstract oil painting (150 × 260 cm) created in 2024 by Claus Bertermann. The 150 × 260 cm dimensions push the work into the panoramic register — width nearly double the height — and at near-architectural scale. The viewer reads it horizontally and at multiple distances, the painting refusing to resolve into a single legible frame at close range. The composition is built around long horizontal palette-knife sweeps that cross the entire canvas in single uninterrupted passes. The chromatic body alternates between deep navy and violet, vivid amber and yellow, and bands of crimson and emerald — a stratified structure that reads almost as a horizon-line landscape compressed by atmospheric pressure. A central horizontal pass in pale blue-grey divides the composition's upper-warm register from a lower-warm release into ochre and gold. Vertical knife marks descend through the stratification at intervals, breaking the horizontal logic just enough to keep the field active. The alphanumeric title (BEMV#CB) is Bertermann's serial notation for his abstract works. At this scale and proportion, the serial title resists what the structural reading would otherwise invite: the painting is not about a landscape, even where its dimensions and stratification suggest one. BEMV#CB belongs to a 2024 cycle in which Bertermann pushed his abstract practice into panoramic dimensions, testing the limits of the sedimentary method at near-mural width.

Is BEMV#CB AI-generated?

No. BEMV#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.
