Robert Buck of Fort Plain, NY, is a recipient of an Award of Excellence in the 2017 juried show. His work often uses color and digital effects to create images that invite closer inspection. Fred Holman, of Brant Lake, NY, is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, a Board Member of the North Country Arts Center, and former curator of the Art in Chestertown Gallery. His still-life, portrait, and landscape paintings are most often completed in oil, both in his studio and plein-air. Paul Marcellino, of Worcester, NY is a Juror's Choice awardee and currently teaches art at Niskayuna High School. A Fine Arts graduate of Manhattan's New York Academy of Art, he has exhibited in solo and group shows throughout the United States.

Paul is an accomplished figurative realist and will be showing recent work in ceramics.

Good science requires imagination. This talk will present the example of Vladimir Nabokov, renowned Russian-American novelist and butterfly scientist who used his artistic knowledge to understand how evolution can work. He went against the prevailing theories of his day and was attacked for being unscientific, but recently some of his work has been vindicated by DNA analysis, showing that his artistic guesses were amazingly accurate and precise. More than fifty years later, Nabokov's genius is finally being recognized. What was it about Nabokov's way of thinking that allowed him to see what others could not? And how did his understanding of nature inspire his fiction?
This presentation by Humanities Scholar, Victoria Alexander, will look at "artistic" versus "scientific" ways of understanding nature. Art and science lovers in the audience will be encouraged to share their experiences in different styles of analysis. We will try to break down the false barrier between the "two cultures" and examine how critical thinking, keen powers of observation, wit, logic, and imagination are necessary for both art and science.
"This program, which is free and open to the public, is made possible through the support of the Humanities New York's Public Scholars program."
