AMA • Pope (1985) - Aurora Borealis - Supreme

AMA • Pope (1985) - "Aurora Borealis" - Supreme - 5/20

Continuing his works that blend irony and contemporary symbols, Pope here explores the world of streetwear and brand culture, where desire becomes collective and image surpasses the object.

"Aurora Borealis" reworks this imaginary into a luminous, chrome, hypnotic piece, almost ritual.

On the front, the message is immediate:
SUPREME, frozen like a symbol, recognizable above all.
On the sides, a minimal signature: S.
A simple, universal code that evokes belonging.

By day, the piece appears as a chrome sculpture, cold and contemporary.
By night, a multicolored aurora borealis bursts from within and transforms the object into an immersive light source.

A stark contrast between visual minimalism and luminous intensity.

"Aurora Borealis" captures an era when the logo becomes identity, and where the object transcends its function to become a true visual signal.

Who is Pope?

Pope, cofounder of the AMA collective, develops a singular artistic universe driven by a practice in visual arts since childhood, a high standard for detail, and meticulous visual research.
Through sculptures, paintings, and installations, he draws inspiration from photography, urban landscapes, and everyday scenes, with a sensitive and wonder-filled 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 movements 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 part of your contemporary art collection, you will easily find your favorite among our works. Indeed, Pope pursues his urban art passion through street art (streetart) and pop art (popart) (in limited or open editions), addressing a wide range of themes such as cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum), the dollar, money, gold, wealth, the sex industry, drug abuse, luxury brands, the world of comics and video games, the pharmaceutical industry and medicines, recycling and upcycling, products of the agro-food and fashion industries (sport, sneakers...),

Brands guide our choices and often our lives without us realizing it.
