The artist Medardus, whose full name is Camille Medardus Hagner, develops his painting cycles by searching for clues in the past. For his oil paintings, the artist combines motifs from historical paintings or photographs with his own pictorial imaginations and creatures as well as contemporary themes from technology or space travel. Medardus creates ambivalent, strange pictorial spaces in which man, animal and machine merge into timeless views. The painter lives and works in Switzerland.
