AMA • Pope (1985) - Aurora POWER

AMA • Pope (1985) – "Aurora POWER" – 5/20

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

When motivation becomes a luminous force.

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

"Aurora POWER" – Money, Power, Respect erects a foundational triptych of the modern business mentality into a luminous, chrome, hypnotic object, almost totemic.

On the front face, the message makes itself known:
POWER accompanied by a golden W that subtly reprises the lightning emoji — a graphic wink to energy, momentum, and power.

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

A universal mantra.
A leitmotif etched into matter.
An iconic 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 brilliant, cold, statuesque icon.
By night: a multicolored aurora borealis ignites the space.
A striking contrast between individual ambition and the collective fascination with success.

Who is Pope?

Pope, cofounder of the AMA collective, develops a distinctive artistic universe driven by a visual arts practice since childhood, a rigorous attention to 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 just a few.

Whether it’s 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) (limited or not) addressing a wide range of themes such as cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum), the dollar, money, gold, wealth, the sex industry, the harms of drugs, luxury brands and haute couture, the world of comics and video games, the pharmaceutical industry and medicines, recycling and upcycling, food and fashion industry products (sports, sneakers...).

Brands guide our choices and often our lives without us realizing it. Aware of this impact, Pope likes to mischievously divert 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.
