Artist portrays gorilla on a crucifix

An artist has defended his installation of a lifesize gorilla on a crucifix in a former London church.

The artwork by Paul Fryer is scarily lifelike, created using the waxwork techniques of the world-famous Madame Tussauds museum and finished off with human hair.

Another of Fryer's pieces being shown in the crypt is a lifelike black Christ depicted in an electric chair - a statement about the disproportionately large number of black people on death row in the United States.
