AMA • Pope (1985) - Aurora Power

AMA • Pope (1985) – "Aurora Power" – 3/20

Often imitated, never equaled: the original Aurora, signed "Pope".
When motivation becomes a luminous force.

Following the success of the Aurora Borealis series, Original Fake Aurora, Authentic Fake Aurora… Pope continues his ironic exploration of contemporary myths, between personal achievement, entrepreneurial culture, and the modern obsession with performance.

"Aurora Power" – Money, Power, Respect builds a founding triptych of the contemporary business mentality into a luminous, chrome, hypnotic object, almost totemic.

On the front face, the message asserts itself:
POWER accompanied by a gold W that subtly echoes the lightning emoji — a graphic wink to energy, momentum, and power.

On the sides, the motto unfolds:
MONEY / RESPECT.

A universal mantra.
A leitmotif carved into matter.
An emblematic triad of modern motivational culture.

The ribbed, textured black vinyl dialogues with the chrome surfaces and iridescent reflections, while the inner light transforms the sculpture into a true visual engine, pulsing like a source of creative energy.

By day: a bright, cold, stately icon.
By night: a multicolored aurora borealis blazing through the space.
A striking contrast between individual ambition and collective fascination with success.

Who is Pope?

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

Pope mainly draws inspiration from the world around him but also from movements 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.
