What is CKKA#CB about?

CKKA#CB is an intimate landscape-format abstract oil painting (100 × 120 cm) created in 2024 by Claus Bertermann. The 100 × 120 cm dimensions place this among Bertermann's smaller-format abstracts — a scale at which the entire surface can be read in a single glance, but at which the density of the sedimentary process is concentrated rather than distributed. The composition is built around long diagonal palette-knife sweeps in crimson and rose-red that cross the canvas at multiple angles, framing a central near-rectangular pocket of pale blue and cerulean — a sky-like opening at the heart of the otherwise saturated picture. Teal and turquoise hold the upper-left register; deep violet and magenta press through at the right. A serpentine black stroke at the lower edge ties the corners together with a single decisive mark. The alphanumeric title (CKKA#CB) is Bertermann's serial notation for his abstract works. At intimate scale the serial code still operates: the painting is not about a window or a crack of sky, even where the central blue opening suggests one. It is about the material event of saturated red sweeps and a cooler buried interior. CKKA#CB belongs to a 2024 cycle in which Bertermann let smaller-format abstracts operate as concentrated tests of the sedimentary method — the same number of working sessions, the same knife decisions, compressed into less working area.

Is CKKA#CB AI-generated?

No. CKKA#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.
