"My painting developed itself from the human form. Herein lies the key to all future works. The mechanism of the organic, the electrical-chemical-physical system of the brain, the neurological system - all of this interests me more and more. I understand these things indirectly to interpret, to react to them . In this respect, mechanical elements, graphic and cartographic symbols, words or parts of words, letters and figures represent connections to the human system . The human figure, in its external appearance, disappeared from my paintings; the configuration of an idea or idea or image of humans - in the cosmos - is what I try to make visible." (Karl Hagedorn in conversation with Curt Heigl)
