Dirk
Hagner was born, raised, and educated in Germany,
where he studied drawing, printmaking, photography,
and painting at the Folkwang School of Fine
Arts. Working in new directions, he constantly
finds himself drawing historic, geographic,
political, and artistic connections to the
past. Old processes like woodcut and etching
are married with photo intaglio and fax machine.
Influences from German Expressionism meet
the sensibilities of line and space of the
Far East. Above all, everything is about drawing:
“We reduce the world to two dimensions and
lines. However, because of this reduction,
in our best moments, art is capable of revealing
some of its lasting truth and beauty.” His
work can be spotted on the sets of a variety
of entertainment dramas such as CSI Miami,
Brothers and Sisters, House, and Shakespeare
Family.
