A top KwaZulu-Natal private school has come under fire for displaying"satanic" and"demonic" artwork done by one of its students. The artwork by a matric pupil was displayed at Grantleigh High School's end-of-year art exhibition. Some social media users agree, while others argued that the artwork was an artistic expression.
The Grantleigh School pupil said he had to release a statement explaining the rationales behind each piece due to the"magnitude of the resultant controversy" after his matric art exhibition was"leaked" without his permission. A video in which a Richards Bay pastor, Andrew Anderson, lambastes the school for allowing the pupil to display his"satanic" artwork went viral on Monday evening."The artworks in this exhibition explore the commercialisation of contemporary organised religion as well as the monetary exploitation of the faithful by greedy individuals who hide behind the guise of the church or similar pious institution.
He explained that he used clown Ronald McDonald as a symbol for"the infection of faith with consumer culture".

Top KZN school responds following outrage over 'satanic' artworkThe learner's artwork caused outrage on social media, with some people saying it is 'satanic' and mocks Christianity. Just because a work depicts the devil doesn't make it satanic. Why did there need to be an investigation? What exactly is the crime or offense here? Mark 13:13 So if it was Islamic or Jewish or comic book art it would be ok? Or does the parents have final say on what is art and what religion can get centre stage?
