What is P5H9#CB about?

P5H9#CB is a square-format abstract oil painting (160 × 160 cm) completed in 2023 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 palette in P5H9#CB is the cool register of Bertermann's 2023 cycle. Deep ultramarine and teal hold the upper register; emerald and forest-green vertical sweeps rise from the lower edge; magenta and violet diagonals enter from the lower-left and lower-margin. A single brilliant chartreuse-yellow diagonal band crosses the lower middle — the painting's only chromatic shock, breaking the cool logic with a near-electric warm event. Pale-blue and white horizontal scrapes cross the upper register, dragging surface pigment laterally and opening the cool body to airier strata. The alphanumeric title (P5H9#CB) is Bertermann's serial notation for his abstract works. The code refuses any commitment to subject; even where the chartreuse diagonal suggests light or motion, the painting is not about lightning or any natural event. It is about the material event of a single warm diagonal admitted into an otherwise cool field. P5H9#CB belongs to a 2023 cycle in which Bertermann let certain cool-toned works admit a single decisive warm intrusion — testing how much chromatic counter-event a contained field can accommodate without losing its register.
