The relationship between art and science today “is a little bit like romance,” said Lynn Fellman. What’s being learned about our species and about each other “is like getting to know someone new,” she said. “It’s surprising; It’s a sense of discovery,” one that artists, who speak through a visual language, respond to. “You know that there’s beauty in the idea of evolution,” she said, adding that art can express that beauty.

An acquaintance of mine in show-biz once commented that scientists are popular at parties with media/art creatives. He’s one to know, since his SO is a professor 😉
From my personal experience, art and science get along well. I’ve always had interesting interactions with artists, including my brother (who is an illustrator) and his friends/colleagues. (BTW: I’m the scientist in those interactions.)
