ABSTRACT

The depiction of Mount Kinabalu is particularly popular among Sabah painters. This trend has been going on for a long time, with many local Sabah painters, including legendary painters like Benedict Chong (1960s), Lakim Haji Kassim (1970s), and prolific young generation painters like Baron Kampiau (1990s), focusing on Mount Kinabalu in their work. Catan Kinabalu is defined as a painting that idealises the picture of Mount Kinabalu as a metaphor for explaining a certain purpose and meaning, particularly in relation to Sabah's cultural challenges. Based on the work of Baron Kempiau Sebating, Sabah culture and identity concerns are examined using an iconographic approach to the formal characteristics portrayed. This painter was chosen to symbolise the Kadazandusun ethnic group in an evaluation of Mount Kinabalu's iconic expression as a cornerstone of their significant ethnic and philosophical manifestation alongside Kinabalu Paintings. Data from first interviews suggest that the painter's expressive concepts are influenced by components of pride, majesty, and dominance of Mount Kinabalu, Southeast Asia's highest mountain. The image of Mount Kinabalu is utilised as a symbol to convey meaning to Sabah people's rituals, taboos, and daily practices. Kinabalu Paintings serves as a graphic representation of local cultural issues and meanings in Sabah. Findings According to this study, Kinabalu Paintings serves as a communication channel for Sabah painters to raise awareness about the state's culture among the general public. They identified Kinabalu Paintings as a manifestation channel of cultural rotation that must be preserved. Kinabalu Paintings effort contributes to preserving Sabah's traditional heritage.
