Painter/illustrator MARY HEEBNER shows her paintings and reads from the Pablo Neruda collection,
“INTIMACIES.” Complimentary wine, cheese & crackers
Intimacies visually explores Neruda’s presentation of love through Mary Heebner’s paintings – a delicate, yet powerful
display of male and female nudes. Motivated by a visit to Neruda’s former home on Isla Negra, Chile,
Heebner enlists watercolor, powdered copper pigment, graphite and acrylic to imbue each drawing with
a tactile, skin-like effect. Using a warm palette of Copper, Ochre and Rose, Heebner offers abstract
renderings of the human form, as seen through the seductive lens of Neruda’s poetry. Select works will
be displayed at the event. Intimacies is translated by prominent Neruda scholar Alastair Reid.
