AMA • Pope (1985) - Aurora POWER

AMA • Pope (1985) – "Aurora POWER" – 6/20

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

When motivation becomes a luminous force.

After the success of the Aurora Borealis series, Original Fake Aurora Counterfeit, 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 founding triptych of the contemporary business mindset into a luminous, chromed, hypnotic work of art, almost totemic.

On the front face, the message stands out:
POWER accompanied by a golden W subtly reproducing the lightning emoji — a graphic wink to energy, momentum, and power.

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

A universal mantra.
A leitmotif carved into matter.
An emblematic triad of modern motivational culture.

The ribbed and 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 society’s fascination with success.

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 meticulous eye for detail, and careful visual research.
Through sculptures, paintings, and installations, he draws 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 just a few.

Whether 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 urban art passion through street art and pop art creations (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 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), Nintendo, Sega, Tintin, Lego, Pokemon, Vans and many others.
