What is LPSS#CB about?

LPSS#CB is a portrait-format abstract oil painting (120 × 100 cm) created in 2018 by Claus Bertermann. The 120 × 100 cm dimensions place this among Bertermann's smaller-format works, and the 2018 date makes it the earliest painting in this group of FAVOURITS — a formative work in the development of the sedimentary method. The composition is among the most gestural in this group. A cool ultramarine and cobalt ground holds the upper register; curving palette-knife sweeps in violet, magenta, and rose-pink wind down through the canvas like petals or twisting forms in cool light. Emerald and forest-green press through at the lower-right where the knife has cut to warmer underpainting. The picture reads almost botanical — a near-orchid-like organization of curving ribbon-strokes around a vertical axis — but the serial title forbids any such reading. The alphanumeric title (LPSS#CB) is Bertermann's serial notation for his abstract works. The code refuses any commitment to subject; the painting is not about a flower or a figure. It is about the material event of curving directional knife passes against a cool ground. LPSS#CB is among Bertermann's earliest works in the sedimentary practice. As an early piece, it carries a formative version of the method — a willingness to let curving knife sweeps carry the composition rather than the rectilinear logic that would come to dominate his later abstracts.
