What is J7KK#CB about?

J7KK#CB is a square-format abstract oil painting (160 × 160 cm) completed in 2024 by Claus Bertermann. The square is a format Bertermann returns to periodically as a deliberate formal constraint — a shape that refuses hierarchy, with no natural top or bottom. The composition is built around a central vertical column of saturated crimson and burgundy that rises through the middle of the canvas — the painting's chromatic spine. Against this red axis, teal and turquoise diagonal sweeps cross from the upper-left and lower-right corners; orange and amber press through at the lateral margins where the knife has cut to warmer buried strata. White and pale-pink diagonal scrapes cut across the entire surface like thin trails of light, fragmenting the chromatic body without dispersing it. The alphanumeric title (J7KK#CB) is Bertermann's serial notation for his abstract works. The code refuses any commitment to subject; even where the structural reading suggests a vertical figure or column, the painting is not about a thing. It is about the material event of a single dominant axis and the chromatic counter-events that contain it. J7KK#CB belongs to a 2024 cycle in which Bertermann let certain square works organize themselves around a single dominant directional event — a central spine that carries the picture's structural weight while the surrounding chromatic body holds it in place.
