AMA • Pope (1985) - Aurora GetRich

AMA • Pope (1985) - "Aurora GetRich" - 7/20

When wealth becomes a luminous obsession.

After the success of the Aurora Borealis series, Aurora Original Fake, Aurora Authentic Fake... AMA continues its ironic exploration of contemporary myths, between social success, pop culture and the fantasy of absolute wealth.

"Aurora Get Rich" – Get Rich Or Die Trying turns a brutal mantra of modern culture into a luminous, chrome, hypnotic, almost ritual object.

On the front, the message is clear:
GET RICH, accompanied by an iconic wink to the double C, the universal symbol of luxury and desire.

On the sides, the statement completes itself, without embellishment:
OR DIE / TRYING.

A frontal, radical slogan, immediately understandable.
A contemporary injunction frozen in light.

The day: a chromed, cold, desirable icon.
The night: a luminous, hypnotic, almost obsessive explosion.
A brutal contrast between imagined success and contemporary pressure.

Who is Pope?

Pope, co-founder of the AMA collective, develops a singular artistic universe powered by a practice in the 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 just a few.

Whether as a gift, a memory, 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 or out of edition) addressing a wide spectrum 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, agri-food and fashion 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 more.
