The Science of the Arts: Robert Nichols

Johnson Geo Centre, Signal Hill

“The Art of Extinct Life: How to Reconstruct the Life Appearance of Fossil Species”

Award winning and world renowned palaeoartist, Bob Nicholls, will describe the process of reconstructing the life appearance of extinct animals from fossils. He will explain how comparative anatomy and parsimonious reasoning enables him to turn fragmentary fossilized remains into plausible whole animals in paintings and sculptures.

Admission by donation.

This talk is part of our Science of the Arts Series. 2024 was named the Year of the Arts in our province, and to celebrate we’ve put together this exciting event series that will explore the relationship between Arts and Sciences. Are these two worlds as different as they sometimes appear? Join us as we hear guests of all backgrounds give their take on this interesting intersection.

Presented by Johnson Geo Centre
