What is Till Disconnect Do Us Part about?

Till Disconnect Do Us Part (2026) by Claus Bertermann is a large-format figurative painting — acrylic and oil stick on canvas, 210 × 160 cm, hand-painted, not AI-generated. The work shows a bride and a black humanoid robot walking hand in hand through a summer park — the oldest scene in the romantic repertoire, painted with a perfectly straight face. The title turns the wedding vow over: machines do not die, they disconnect. And the painting quietly reverses the roles — the robot is the most solid, confidently rendered presence on the canvas, while the bride dissolves into open patches of paint, her veil no more than a wandering white line. Rather than telling a story, the painting presents a condition: the moment of holding hands with the artificial. For his figurative works, Claus Bertermann separates painting from drawing. In this canvas he deliberately varies his physical process: instead of his customary paint roller, the acrylic ground is laid in with wide brushes — broad, directional strokes that keep the momentum of the arm visible and give the park its restless, flickering energy. The figures' contours are then drawn directly with oil stick — intuitively and independently from the painted ground. The lines do not conform to the underlying surface; they cut through it. The image is built forward: coarse acrylic application followed by decisive oil stick contours — nothing is scraped back. The composition sets the two figures side by side, walking toward the viewer down a pale path. On the left, the bride: auburn hair, pale blue eyes, a strapless white-and-cream dress built from loose patches of ivory, pink and warm skin tones, her long veil drawn entirely in white oil-stick line. On the right, the robot: deep blacks and greys, jointed limbs traced in white contour, small accents of red at mouth and chest. Their hands meet at the centre of the canvas — her white-gloved hand in its dark one, circled by the same white line. Around them, layered greens from olive to bright leaf-green, white blossom passages, dark tree trunks and a small patch of blue sky. Anatomy is intentionally simplified and slightly distorted, prioritizing emotional weight over realism. All surface irregularities are intentional and integral to the artist's process. Signed by the artist on the front and back, Till Disconnect Do Us Part extends Claus Bertermann's ongoing exploration of the human-made in an age of artificial images — a museum-scale work that hides a sharp question inside its cheerful wedding walk.
