What is TDB1#CB about?

TDB1#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 palette is dominated by saturated red and crimson — a near-monochromatic warm body that occupies most of the canvas. Against this red field, long diagonal palette-knife sweeps in deep teal, ultramarine, and slate-grey cross the surface from upper-right to lower-left, with shorter green and yellow drags entering from the lateral margins. The composition reads almost geological — a near-strata of warm pigment cut through by cooler directional events that operate as fault-lines or fissures across the chromatic body. The alphanumeric title (TDB1#CB) is Bertermann's serial notation for his abstract works. The serial-number adjacency to TDB2#CB marks the two as siblings in a 2024 sub-cycle exploring red-dominant square fields cut through by cool diagonal events. TDB1#CB belongs to a 2024 cycle in which Bertermann let certain square works carry an almost-monochromatic warm body interrupted by decisive cool directional events — testing how much chromatic counter-event a near-monochromatic field can accommodate.
