Statement
After 30 years of mathematics research and teaching social sciences students, I now pursue my 'GDM' visual artist life creating, amongst other things 'mathart' works. A domain I enjoyed to lead in & explore, as curator of « Art&Math » exhibitions in Brussels (in 2014 at the Université libre de Bruxelles, and more recently, in 2016/2, in the Uccle Art House)'. From a series of «Tributes to M.C.Escher » composed for this recent exhibition, this work illustrates, with a background of Escher’s research notes on tesselations, a geometrical concept alien to the general public: 'The Affine Plane with 9 Points'. This "strange 'plane', other world of dimension 2" indeed, belongs to 'finite' or 'discrete' geometries. (To be continued below)
