A Melania Trump tree statue is getting mixed reviews in her Slovenian hometown
US artist Brad Downey commissioned the life-size statue from local chainsaw sculptor Ales Zupevc, better known as Maxi, who was born in the same year and same hospital as the first lady, but whose life took a very different path.
Nadia Pilchowski, a curator at the gallery, notes that the film offers a"personal portrait of Maxi and his thoughts about Slovenia, the USA, Europe, immigration and class division." The work does not attempt to create an exact likeness of the American first lady, but rather hints at her appearance.She has been carved wearing a pale blue wraparound outfit, mirroring the one she wore to the inauguration of her husband, President Donald Trump, in 2017.
