The Betrayal
Watercolour and Ink, 68cm x 96cm
In the painting we see the portrayal of a contemporary Jesus and Judas. There is also a hand showing with a pointing finger. It is not clear to whom this hand belongs.
The raised and pointing finger is used to identify, to betray, to sentence and to honour Jesus.
At the baptism of Jesus:
You are my Son, whom I love; with you am I pleased. Luke 3:22
At Gethsemane Judas said:
The one I kiss is the man: arrest him and lead him away under guard. Mark 14:44
Pilate sentencing Jesus said:
Here is the man. You take and crucify him. John 19: 5,6
The centurian praised God and said:
Surely, this is a righteous man. Luke 23:47

“Unravelling”, acrylic on canvas, 60cm x 90cm
Artist: Barbara Niczynski
Artist Statement:
The artist thinks about God as engaged in a journey towards the incarnation and so pictures an unravelling. “When I consider the wild, untameable nature of God, the enormity of creation, what effort the unravelling of the Godhead it must have been! God reduced beginning redemption as one cell in a human being. We think of Jesus suffering on the cross, but I think his suffering started at that point of laying aside his power for us”.
