What is HSS2#CB about?

HSS2#CB is a landscape-format abstract oil painting (130 × 150 cm) created in 2021 by Claus Bertermann. The 130 × 150 cm proportions sit just past square — a landscape that retains the centripetal density of a more contained format, focusing the surface inward rather than spreading it across a horizon. The composition is governed by long diagonal palette-knife sweeps in deep burgundy and bruised maroon that cross the canvas at near-parallel angles, forming a lattice over a cool teal-turquoise ground. Through and beneath that lattice, chartreuse and olive-green passes cut across in counter-direction, with smaller pockets of yellow and amber pressing through where the knife has exposed warmer underpainting. A pocket of cerulean and pale-blue holds the upper-central area — the painting's coolest event, breaking the burgundy logic just enough to keep the picture active. The alphanumeric title (HSS2#CB) is Bertermann's serial notation for his abstract works. The code refuses any commitment to subject: even where the lattice reading suggests structural framework, the painting is not about a built thing. It is about the material event of intersecting directional knife passes and the chromatic depth they screen. HSS2#CB belongs to a 2021 cycle in which Bertermann let the palette knife act not only as scraping tool but as compositional armature — the knife passes themselves becoming the picture's primary structural feature.

Is HSS2#CB AI-generated?

No. HSS2#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.
