Is he a saint or a sinner? British artist Mason Storm's controversial sculpture, 'Saint or Sinner', has sparked debate. It depicts Donald Trump, clad in an orange prison jumpsuit, crucified on a cross. The piece, displayed in Basel, Switzerland, at the Basler Kunstmeile, is a hyperrealistic portrayal that has divided opinions. Storm, known for his satirical and politically charged art, often wears masks and balaclavas to maintain anonymity, adding to the intrigue. The sculpture plays on the dichotomy between a vertical crucifixion and a horizontal execution gurney, inviting viewers to question Trump's moral and religious standing. Konrad Breznik, the gallery owner, finds the sculpture eerily realistic, with every wrinkle and skin detail being disturbingly lifelike. Breznik even suggests that Trump might see himself as a modern-day Jesus, despite Trump's own admission that he doesn't think he's 'heaven-bound'. The artwork's potential exhibition in the US is uncertain, as it has already been sold to an 'internationally renowned' European collector. 'Saint or Sinner' is on display in Basel until mid-November, leaving visitors to form their own opinions on this thought-provoking piece.
