"Forgive Us" is a 2020 painting by Jammie Holmes, a contemporary American artist known for his works that explore themes of race, religion, and social justice. This painting depicts a baptism scene, with a figure dressed as a pastor baptizing a young man. The image is filled with layered symbolism, including the inscription "Holy Water" and a "Church Notice" which is torn and taped to the upper right corner of the painting. These details highlight the complexities of faith and social issues in a modern context.
