This painting is a loving homage to Bianca, Bert’s cherished dog. It captures intimate memories of their shared routines—a visual "reset button" where time slowed and companionship thrived. The piece is structured like a film still from an unscripted dog-and-owner story, full of warmth, familiarity, and gentle narrative tension.

This piece bridges two worlds: the protective, loving world of Bert and Bianca, and the raw, expressive world of street culture that shaped the artist. It’s a multi-layered tribute—a remembrance of moments past and a celebration of the creative journey shared with a beloved companion.

Street-Art Backdrop

The background features a graffiti-style wall—an homage to Bert’s early experience with street art and urban culture—layered with abstract forms and raw marks. This urban texture speaks to the artist’s roots in graffiti and Berlin’s punk and techno scenes, while framing the quiet moment with Bianca in a world shaped by creativity and grit.

Position within Bert’s Practice

Part of Esenherz’s 2018 oeuvre, Bianca’s Company Reset weaves together personal narrative and urban aesthetics. The graffiti backdrop connects to Bert’s early creative life—from Berlin walls to Brooklyn’s street voice—while foregrounding his shift towards intimate, memory-rich painting.
