AMA • Pope (1985) - Aurora ORIGINAL FALSO

AMA • Pope (1985) – « Aurora ORIGINAL FALSO » – 6/30

Following the success of the Aurora Borealis series — copied, imitated and sometimes censored in the name of “brand ownership” — the artist Pope returns with an even bolder work.

This time, the homage is paid to Spain, a country of excess, passion and flamboyant irony: here is “Aurora ORIGINAL FALSO.”

A unique Pop Art lamp, where the base proclaims outright “FALSO” at the front and “NO COMPRAR” on the sides. A provocative wink that turns the language of counterfeiting into an artistic manifesto.

By day, a chromed teddy with insolent and hypnotic reflections.
By night, a true luminous spectacle of artificial auroras lighting up your walls.
Two faces, one irony: making the fake an authentic work of art.

Who is Pope?

Pope, co-founder of the AMA collective, develops a singular artistic universe driven by 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 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 a few.

Whether it’s for a gift, a souvenir or your personal collection of contemporary art, you will easily find your favorite piece thanks to the diversity of our works. Indeed, Pope pursues his passion for urban art through street art and pop art (in limited editions 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, edible and fashion industry products (sport, sneakers...).

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