What is S77D#CB about?

S77D#CB is a square-format abstract oil painting (130 × 130 cm) completed in 2019 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 2019 date makes S77D#CB one of the earliest works in this group of FAVOURITS. The palette is among the cleanest in Bertermann's pre-2020 output. Pale turquoise and aquamarine hold the upper half of the canvas; a vertical column of violet, burgundy, and deep magenta descends through the center-right, dragged by a single decisive palette-knife pass. Pale green and white curving sweeps cross from the left edge through the upper register. The composition reads almost aquatic — a near-underwater event where a denser dark column moves through a lighter cool field. The alphanumeric title (S77D#CB) is Bertermann's serial notation for his abstract works — a non-narrative identifier that locates the painting within an archive without committing it to subject. The 2019 date places S77D#CB at the formative end of Bertermann's sedimentary practice. As an early-period work, S77D#CB carries a formative version of the method — a willingness to let large gestural events carry the picture against a clean monochromatic ground, before the chromatic intensifications of the 2023–2024 cycles.
