AMA • Pope (1985) – "Aurora BTC Hodler" – BITCOIN - 8/20

When conviction becomes belief.

Following the success of the Aurora Borealis series, Aurora Original 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" twists the imagery of cryptocurrency into a luminous, chrome, hypnotic, almost ritual object.

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

On the sides, the formula stands out, without detour:
HODL / TILL DEATH.

A minimalist, immediate, universal creed.
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, cofounder of the AMA collective, develops a singular artistic universe carried by a practice of visual arts since childhood, a high standard of detail, and careful 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 primarily 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 as a gift, a keepsake, or part of 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, and products of the agro-food and fashion industries (sports, sneakers...).

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

Dear bidders, our collective commits all its efforts to ensure that all information necessary to assess the lot sold is clearly detailed in the listing: dimensions, weight, description, and photos... After the sale, no unwarranted claim will be considered. Thank you for your understanding.
