What is 9FN4#CB about?

9FN4#CB is a large abstract oil painting (170 × 150 cm) created in 2024 by Claus Bertermann. The 170 × 150 format — slightly taller than it is wide — occupies a specific position within Bertermann's abstract production: it is one of his preferred large-format working scales, and the slight vertical emphasis introduces a quiet but persistent upward pull that the horizontal palette knife passes must work against. This counter-directional tension — the format pulling up, the principal tool gesture moving laterally — is not accidental. Bertermann uses the inherent directionality of his formats as a compositional force, setting up a structural conflict that the painting process then negotiates. In 9FN4#CB, the slightly taller-than-wide proportion means that the viewer's eye, responding to the implied upward orientation of the canvas, is repeatedly redirected by the lateral palette knife marks that establish the dominant movement of the surface. The result is a surface that holds tension in two directions simultaneously — vertical and horizontal — without resolving it into either pure landscape or pure upright movement. The painting stands in a state of productive negotiation between these two forces, the format and the gesture, the canvas and the knife. 9FN4#CB was created during the concentrated production period of 2024, during which Bertermann developed multiple large-format abstracts in parallel — a working method that allows individual canvases to inform each other across sessions.
