Description from the seller

Pope (1985) – " Aurora BTC Hodler " – Bitcoin - 5/20

When conviction becomes belief.

Following the success of the Aurora Borealis series, Aurora Original Fake, Aurora Authentic Fake… AMA continues its ironic exploration of contemporary myths, between alternative finance, digital culture, and absolute faith in new value systems.

" Aurora BTC Hodler " twists the imagery of cryptocurrency into a luminous, chrome, hypnotic object, almost ritual.

On the front face, the message is clear:
BITCOIN, fixed as a symbol, recognizable above all.

On the sides, the formula stands out, without detour:
HODL / TILL DEATH.

A minimalist, immediate, universal creed.
A contemporary belief carved in wood.

Day: a chrome, cold, familiar icon.
Night: a multicolored aurora borealis flames the space.
A brutal contrast between financial speculation and quasi-religious commitment.

Limited edition of 20 copies for 2025, signed, numbered and delivered with AMA certificate of authenticity.
Fast and secure shipping (bubble wrap, tissue paper, reinforced carton) with signature-on-delivery.

Specifications:
- 7 luminous colors
- 3 diffusion modes (static, faded transitions, simple transitions)
- Electrical supply via USB cord with switch (included)
- Height: 20 cm
- Width: 9 cm
- Depth: 9 cm

Who is Pope?

Pope, cofounder of the AMA collective, develops a singular artistic universe driven by a practice of plastic arts since childhood, a high standard of detail and meticulous visual research.
Through sculptures, paintings and installations, he draws inspiration from photography, urban landscapes and everyday scenes, with a sensitive and awed gaze, attentive to both the simplicity and the complexity of the world around him.

Pope mainly draws inspiration from the world around him but also from currents of renowned artists such as Banksy, Keith Haring, Koons, Orlinski, Takashi, Fred Allart, Shepard Fairey, Warhol, Yayoi Kusama, Richard Hamilton, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Alec Monopoly, KAWS, Pantone, Mr. Brainwash, Blek le Rat, to name just a few.

Whether for a gift, a keepsake, or your personal collection of contemporary art, you will easily find your favorite thanks to the diversity of our works. Indeed, Pope pursues his urban art passion through street art (streetart) and pop art (popart) creations (limited edition or not), addressing a wide range of themes such as cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum), the dollar, money, gold, wealth, the sex industry, drugs, luxury brands and haute couture, the world of comics and video games, the pharmaceutical industry and medicines, recycling and upcycling, agri-food and fashion products (sports, sneakers...).

Brands guide our choices and often our lives without us realizing it. Aware of this impact, Pope likes to mischievously bend labels such as Louis Vuitton (LV), Chanel, Dior, Hermès, Prada, Gucci, Rolex, Yves Saint Laurent (YSL), Supreme, Obey, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Bugatti, AMG, Mercedes, Nike (Air Jordan), Adidas (Stan Smith), Coca Cola, Pepsi, Marvel and Avengers (Batman, Joker, Superman...), Disney (Mickey, Scrooge McDuck...), Nintendo, Sega, Tintin, Lego, Pokemon, Vans and many others.

Dear bidders, our collective makes every effort to ensure that all information necessary to evaluate the lot is clearly detailed in the listing: dimensions, weight, description and photos... After the sale, no unjustified claim will be considered. Thank you for your understanding.
