Claus Bertermann (1965) - Orbit

Artist: Claus Bertermann OFFICIAL WEBSITE: www.bertermann.art The story behind "Orbit" Night has fallen, and the dance floor is still glowing. A man in a dark blue suit holds a woman in a deep dip. She leans back so far that her hair streams up into the starry sky. Her face is calm, his gaze is focused, and all around them lines of orange, gold and pink swirl like sparks. In this one moment, the two of them are their own solar system. She lets herself fall completely, because she knows he will hold her, and he is the centre she circles. Even the sun has joined the dance: a glowing orange disc on the left, while the stars shine above. Night above, fire below, and two people in orbit around each other.

First he paints the background with loose, broad brushstrokes. Then he draws the figures on top with oil stick, in clear and confident lines. Visual description A man in a dark blue suit stands at the centre of the canvas, holding a woman who leans far back in a dance dip, her pale face turned towards us and her lilac and white hair flowing into a dark night sky full of small yellow, white and blue stars. The lower half of the painting blazes in orange, yellow and red, crossed by lines of pink, green, white and blue that trace her dress and their moving legs, with a glowing orange sun on the left. Signed in light oil stick at the lower right. One detail for those who look twice: her hair is painted in the same blue and lilac as the night sky. She seems to become part of it, as if the dance has lifted her into the stars. Why it is worth the price A large, museum-scale painting from the first year of a radically new figurative series. Its energy is pure movement: you can almost feel the music and the turn of the dance. A joyful, romantic work that brings warmth and life to a room, and a natural choice for collectors of contemporary figurative painting as well as for lovers of dance, music and the night.
