AMA • Pope (1985) – 'Bat-cension' – 1/20

In response to your ever-increasing demand, artist Pope from the AMA collective (with over 1,200 successful sales and more than 230 100% positive reviews on Catawiki – gallery track record) is also opening this account to share his creations.
Authenticity, quality, and exceptional service that make its reputation await you.

Discover 'Bat-cension,' a powerful and transgressive Pop Art work, where the ultimate icon of the modern vigilante replaces the Christ figure in a radical and contemporary reinterpretation of the crucifix.

In this new limited series of only 20 copies for 2025, Pope depicts Batman, arms open, frozen in an elevation posture.
The hero becomes a martyr.
The cross becomes a base.
Pop mythology accesses an almost religious dimension.

The title 'Bat-cension' merges Batman and Ascension: it evokes both the fall, sacrifice, and ultimate elevation. A symbolic ascent, between shadow and light, between geek culture and sacred iconography.

Entirely handcrafted in epoxy resin, the artwork stands out with its bright yellow, saturated with organic shapes and black projections, creating a stark contrast with the dark silhouette of the hero. A vibrant, almost living material that immediately captures the eye.

The work can be placed or hung, thanks to its integrated hook at the back.

The LEGO character visible in some photos is not included in the sale.

Bid now to add to your collection one of the most powerful, bold, and iconic Pop Art works from the AMA universe, at the crossroads of the sacred, cinema, and geek culture.
