Cheryl Cole splurged on a piece of art created by a local artist that cost about R316 000.
The 30-year-old singer splashed out on the piece created by Willie Bester who is known for his art sculptures and installations made of found objects and show crime in South Africa. This particular statue shows a mother pushing her pram while her child holds a gun.
Cheryl bought a second home in Cape Town after spending time here soaking up the sunshine over last year’s Christmas period and is keen to fill her new residence with local artwork.The source added: “Cheryl is really getting into the culture here and she wants to support South African talent. Now that Cheryl has a second home here she’s furnishing it with iconic artworks. She saw the Willie piece at the Mount Nelson hotel, where it’s exhibited in the gardens. She completely fell in love with the sculpture, and snapped it up straight away.”
