Wall painting in Tawau
Jesus' Crucifixion is a wall
painting one unlikely to forget. A vast, endlessly complex,
emotionally devastating composition, covering the entire top
front wall of Holy Trinity Church of Tawau.
The painting is full of masterstrokes, bringing the awful mystery of the crucifixion. Steeped in dense color, painted with urgent vigor, and suffused with intense religious emotion. The emotional centre is the 3 mourners at the foot of Jesus' cross, one is mother Mary fainted to see her tortured son. The 2 robber and thief in the distant. With its tremendous suite of artistry you can find in this town, the painting itself is sufficient reason for a tourist to visit Holy Trinity Church. But who is this forcible painter in Tawau? |
