“When Art and Science Collide”
A free lecture by Hitnes, an Italian artist who has completed large-scale murals on over four continents, which investigates the sometimes conflicting, sometimes complimentary relationship between art and science, with special emphasis on Hitnes’ work.
Since late July 2015, Hitnes has traveled throughout the eastern United States working on The Image Hunter, a project where he has loosely retraced the route of John James Audubon, spending time observing birds in nature and then painting the results in murals across the country; Lexington is the final stop on his official tour. Pictures documenting the progress of this quest can be seen atwww.theimagehunter.org.
