What is PNCI#CB about?

PNCI#CB is an abstract oil painting (130 × 150 cm) created in 2024 by Claus Bertermann. It belongs to the systematic core of his abstract output — a sustained practice in which the concept of geological depth is not a metaphor but a structural principle. Geology is the science of reading time in material. Rock formations record their history in their physical structure — compressed layers that tell the story of their own accumulation and transformation. Bertermann's abstract paintings operate on an analogous logic: each layer of oil paint applied to the surface is a temporal record, and the palette knife interventions that cut across these layers are geological events — moments of rupture that expose the painting's own history. PNCI#CB carries multiple such histories within its surface. Applied layers from different sessions register different temperatures of color, different degrees of impasto, different drying states that create micro-textural distinctions. The scraped passages — where the palette knife has removed the most recent material — reveal earlier chromatic states that would otherwise be permanently buried. The painting is, in this sense, a section through time. The 130 × 150 cm format gives this geological process space to develop: it is not a small painting in which a single decisive gesture could resolve the surface, but a field large enough to sustain multiple zones of activity and multiple scales of intervention — from wide palette knife sweeps to targeted local excavations.

Is PNCI#CB AI-generated?

No. PNCI#CB is a hand-painted original created entirely by Claus Bertermann — Oil on canvas. All works by Claus Bertermann are made by hand. In a time when AI-generated imagery is increasingly common, every Bertermann painting is a unique physical object, never digitally produced.
