A Bigger Picture
Healy & Hayes Gallery, Ham Concert Hall, University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV)
Currently installed on the North and South Walls of the Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healy Gallery are a series of large scale oil on canvas paintings by Philippine artist Gig Depio. Mr. Depio has been fascinated with American culture — culture envisioned here as a community — with all the impulses and energies surrounding the historical figures who try and make sense and understand what is happening to them as they experience their era of time. As an artist, Mr. Depio accepts and embraces the notion that he has been given a gift and that gift comes with a responsibility — namely to share and communicate his vision of his time in which he lives and to make sense of the long cavalcade that is history.
