What is IWR4#CB about?

IWR4#CB is a square-format abstract oil painting (160 × 160 cm) completed in 2024 by Claus Bertermann. The work is a near-pair to IWR3#CB — same dimensions, same year, same family of chromatic decisions, though the two are siblings rather than a diptych, each retaining its own internal organization. The composition reorganizes the IWR3 palette around a more verticalized armature. Long descending palette-knife columns in emerald and forest-green run through the canvas from top to bottom; magenta and rose drags cross them from the lateral margins; yellow and amber strikes press through at intervals where the knife has cut to warmer buried strata. The chromatic register is the same as its sibling — magenta, yellow, emerald, ultramarine — but the structural logic is column rather than lattice, the picture reading vertically rather than as a meeting of two opposing directions. The alphanumeric title (IWR4#CB) is Bertermann's serial notation for his abstract works. The proximity to IWR3#CB in the archive marks the two as siblings in a 2024 sub-cycle exploring high-saturation structures at square dimensions. IWR4#CB belongs to a 2024 cycle in which Bertermann let related works share a palette while organizing it under different structural logics — testing how much identity could be carried by structure alone.

Is IWR4#CB AI-generated?
