Berlin-based American artist Brad Downey commissioned a local pipe-layer and folk artist named Ales Zupevc to carve a life-size wooden sculpture of Melania Trump with a chainsaw. It recently appeared on top of a tree pedestal on the green banks of the Sava river, close to the First Lady’s hometown in South Slovenia.
Downey explains: “I wanted a folk artist who falls in the tradition of Slovenian folk art but one who is not corrupted by academia … and [one who] comes from the same working-class which Melania came from.”
