Description from the seller

AMA • Pope (1985) - "Aurora Nova" - ROLEX - 5/20

In the lineage of the original luminous works from the Aurora Borealis collection, discover "Aurora Nova", a handmade, limited-edition personalized pop light sculpture of 20 copies for 2025, themed around the Swiss watchmaker Rolex (this is not an official brand object).

A strong, minimalist, contemporary sculptural presence: the elegant mirror sphere catches the eye when off, then reveals, once illuminated, an intense and hypnotic light explosion at its core.

The iconic crown, suspended at the center of the sphere, becomes the focal point of the work. It seems to float in a vibrant luminous universe, creating a spectacular and instantly recognizable visual effect.

Aurora Nova embodies a clean and confident vision of light: a strong, direct, immersive signature light, conceived as a true contemporary pop artwork.

- LED sphere lamp with mirror effect
- Simple and immediate on
- Intense signature lighting (see photos)

The numbering visible in the photos is shown as an example. The delivered work will bear the edition number indicated in this listing.

Lamp in a limited edition, numbered, signed and delivered with authenticity certificate "AMA".
Fast and careful shipping (bubble wrap, tissue paper and cardboard) with signature upon delivery.

A luminous sculpture composed of a resin base and a metallic-silver globe made of rigid synthetic material with a glass-like appearance, commercially manufactured and customized, hand-finished by the artist Pope using a manual application technique of premium polymer vinyl.
The work personally carried out by the artist includes graphic design, adapting the visual to the sculpture’s shapes, precise vinyl cutting, as well as the positioning and manual application of each element.
Each copy of this edition is individually personalized and hand-finished by the artist Pope.
The limited edition applies exclusively to the graphic customization and artistic finish carried out by the artist Pope, and not to the commercially manufactured base luminous sculpture.
Edition of artistic customization and finishing: 5/20 — 2025.

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 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 but a few.

Whether as a gift, a memento or your personal collection of contemporary art, you will easily find your favorite among our works. Indeed, Pope pursues his passion for urban art through street art and pop art (in limited or non-limited editions), addressing a wide range of themes such as cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum), the dollar, money, gold, wealth, the sex industry, the harms of drugs, luxury and haute couture brands, the world of comics and video games, the pharmaceutical industry and medicines, recycling and upcycling, and products of the food and fashion industries (sport, sneakers...).

Brands guide our choices and often our lives without us realizing it. Aware of this impact, Pope enjoys slyly tweaking 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 works hard to ensure that all information necessary to evaluate the lot for sale is clearly detailed in the listing: dimensions, weight, description and photos... After the sale, no unjustified claim will be considered. Thank you for your understanding.
