AMA • Pope (1985) - "Aurora Nova" - CHANEL - 6/20

In the lineage of the original luminous works from the Aurora Borealis collection, discover "Aurora Nova", a handmade customized luminous pop sculpture in a limited edition of 20 copies for 2025, centered on the theme of the French haute couture house Chanel (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 lit, an intense and hypnotic luminous explosion at its heart.

The iconic CC monogram, 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 pared-down, confident vision of light: a strong, direct, immersive luminous signature, conceived as a true contemporary pop artwork.

Who is Pope?

Pope, co-founder of the AMA collective, develops a singular artistic universe driven by a practice of visual arts since childhood, with 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 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 a few.

Whether for 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 (streetart) and pop art (popart) (in limited edition or not), tackling 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 (sport, sneakers…).

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