What is N2CC#CB about?

N2CC#CB is a large-format abstract oil painting (170 × 150 cm) created in 2024 by Claus Bertermann. It is part of a sustained abstract series that spans decades and nearly 900 works — a body of practice in which architecture, geology, and the physical act of painting converge. Bertermann trained as an architect at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) before becoming a full-time painter — a background that fundamentally shaped his approach to the canvas. Architecture is a discipline of forces in tension: compression and extension, load and support, mass and void. These structural principles migrate into his abstract painting in ways that are not illustrative but genuinely structural. N2CC#CB, like all his abstracts, is not a picture of architectural logic — it operates according to architectural logic. The canvas is treated as a building site: layers are deposited and cured, then excavated with the palette knife in a process analogous to geological survey and excavation. The final surface is not a façade but a section — a cut through accumulated material that reveals the history of its own construction. Within the 170 × 150 cm format, the tension between vertical and horizontal force — the slight taller-than-wide proportion — creates a structural dynamic that Bertermann exploits in his palette knife passes. The knife typically works against the dominant axis of the format, creating a counter-directional energy that keeps the surface from settling into passivity.

Is N2CC#CB AI-generated?

No. N2CC#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.
