BIOGRAPHY
PAINTING TECHNIQUES
Technique
& Style
My painting techniques challenge perception by blending foreground and background, making it difficult to distinguish between the two. The careful use of light and perspective creates a striking three-dimensional illusion, drawing the viewer into the composition. Smooth brushstrokes are disrupted by vigorous paint scratching, introducing rough textures that contrast with the surrounding tranquility. This technique reveals underlying layers, leaving visible traces like memories. Through the superposition of multiple layers and textures, the final composition becomes complex and almost elusive, defying conventional interpretation.
Biography
Claus Bertermann
Claus Bertermann (b. 1965, Stuttgart) studied architecture at TUM before fully committing to abstract expressionism. Influenced by his grandfather, painter Guillermo Castañeda, and artists like Baselitz and Basquiat, he explores transience through layered compositions, scratching through paint to reveal hidden depths. Rejecting rigid structures, he paints intuitively on a large scale. His work is internationally recognized, with a 2019 solo exhibition at BBVA in Spain and a major 2024 triptych donation to TUM. Since 2024, he is exclusively represented by Belgian agent Jos De Troyer.
