Adelaide - Two artists say they're stunned by a suburban Adelaide's council's decision to ban their nude works from its annual art competition.
Tea Tree Gully Council said the works - a painting featuring a seated nude by Margaret Tuckey, and a sculpture of a female torso by
Scot Eames - were too graphic.
"I unwrapped my work and they looked at it and told me it was inappropriate and they would not hang it in the exhibition," Ms Tuckey, an art teacher, told the community Messenger newspaper.
"They said that school children would be seeing the exhibition."
Mr Eames said he was dumbfounded to be excluded and pointed out that school children could see nudes at the Art Gallery of South Australia.
