Conceptual Art

It is at the Beaux Arts School that Patrice Jeener specializes in copperplate engraving. The particular interest he shows for curves becomes established after a visit at the Palais de la Découverte, in Paris, in front of models of varied surfaces. Then he begins to study ruled surfaces, then third and fourth degree algebraic surfaces and he buries himself in the study of the theory of surfaces (in this instance the Darboux 's reference book : 4 volumes and only one photographic illustration representing a plaster molding of such a surface ...). At least in 1980 he discovers the possibilities offered by the computer means. He is the regular guest of prestigious scientific communities. The exhibitions he realises notably at the French Ecole Polytechnique in 1981, 1985, 1989 and 1993 enable him to confirm the validity of his theorical works. Ther he presents too the interest and the beauty of graphic representations of objects with mathematical characters to an audience of mathematicians : minimal surfaces, magnetic-fields forces lines, fractal objects, tree-diagrams.
