Paul-Armand Gette
Paul-Armand Gette (1927) is regularly regarded as a conceptual artist, but the key focus in his work is less on reducing the work of art to a concept than on the link between art and science. He trained originally as a biologist and geologist and made a promising start to a scientific career as head of a laboratory. He began to find science claustrophobic: it was too narrow for him. In order to be able to focus on the poetry of science, he transferred his attention to art. However, his fascination with nature is still clearly reflected in his work, which incorporates highly disparate elements drawn from science, the visual arts and literature.
