AMA • Pope (1985) – "Aurora BTC Hodler" – BITCOIN - 7/20

When conviction becomes belief.

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

"Aurora BTC Hodler" distorts the imagery of cryptocurrency to make it a luminous, chrome, hypnotic, almost ritual object.

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

On the sides, the formula stands unflinchingly:
HODL / TILL DEATH.

A minimalist, immediate, universal profession of faith.
A contemporary belief carved in wood.

The day: a chrome, cold, familiar icon.
The night: a multicolored aurora borealis blazing through space.
A brutal contrast between financial speculation and quasi-religious commitment.

Who is Pope?

Pope, co-founder of the AMA collective, develops a singular artistic universe driven by a visual arts practice 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 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 it’s a gift, a keepsake, or your personal collection of contemporary art, you’ll easily find your favorite piece thanks to the diversity of our works. Indeed, Pope pursues his urban art passion through street art and pop art creations (in limited or open editions), tackling a wide range of themes such as cryptocurrencies (bitcoin, ethereum), the dollar, money, gold, wealth, the sex industry, drug abuse, luxury and haute couture brands, the world of comics and video games, the pharmaceutical industry and medicines, recycling and upcycling, and food and fashion industry products (sport, sneakers...).

Brands guide our choices and often our lives without us realizing it. Aware of this impact, Pope enjoys mischievously reinterpreting 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.
