Art display withdrawn

The exhibition of a student artist has been pulled from a Franschhoek gallery after she posed nude and tore pages from a Bible, The Cape Times newspaper reported on Tuesday.

Celeste Coetzee shocked onlookers by going naked as part of her art installation at the Unisa Final Year Student Exhibition at The Gallery at Grande Provence in Franschhoek.

Coetzee, who was making a statement about the suffering of women in a patriarchal society, had also used the exhibition to criticise evangelist and Faith Like Potatoes author Angus Buchan.
