AMA • Pope (1985) - Aurora Power

AMA • Pope (1985) – "Aurora Power" – 4/20

Often imitated, never equaled: the original Aurora, signed "Pope".

When motivation becomes a luminous force.

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

"Aurora Power" – Money, Power, Respect erects a foundational triptych of the contemporary business mentality into a luminous, chrome, hypnotic, almost totemic work of art.

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

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

A universal mantra.
A motif engraved in matter.
An emblematic triad of modern motivational culture.

The ribbed, textured black vinyl interacts 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, statuesque icon.
By night: a multicolored aurora borealis that ignites the space.
A striking contrast between individual ambition and the collective fascination with success.

Who is Pope?

Pope, co-founder of the AMA collective, develops a singular artistic universe rooted in a practice of visual 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 amazed 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 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 a few.

Whether for a gift, a memento, or your personal collection of contemporary art, you will surely find a piece that speaks to you thanks to the diversity of our works. Indeed, Pope pursues his urban art passion through street art (streetart) and pop art (popart) (in or out of edition) addressing a wide range of themes such as cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum), the dollar, money, gold, wealth, the sex industry, drug abuse, luxury brands and haute couture, the world of comics and video games, the pharmaceutical industry and medicines, recycling and upcycling, agro-food and fashion products (sports, sneakers…),
