A British artist has sparked backlash after debuting his controversial artwork showing a crucified US President Donald Trump in an orange jumpsuit.

Mason Storm’s ‘Saint or Sinner’ piece has been hanging in a pedestrian walkway in Basel, Switzerland, since Saturday.

Storm depicted Trump fastened to a cross-shaped gurney as if he was being crucified like Jesus.

Trump’s hands lay slack and his head is tilted as if he is sleeping.

Owner of Galerie Gleis 4 that organized the exhibit, Konrad Breznik, told AFP: ‘The skin is so realistic, it’s really scary.’

Storm, who wears a mask covering his whole face to conceal his identity, posed proudly beside the artwork.

The controversial artist posted about the piece on Instagram and wrote: ‘Half life-size Donny Trump, probably the most decisive politician of the modern era, or past for that matter.

‘Despised by some, beloved by others, so is he a saint on a cross or a sinner on the lethal injection gurney? You decide.’
