Description from the seller
AMA • Pope (1985) - "Aurora Nova" - ROLEX - 7/20
In the lineage of the original luminous works from the Aurora Borealis collection, discover "Aurora Nova", a hand-customized, limited-edition light sculpture (20 copies for 2025) themed around the Swiss watchmaker Rolex (this is not an official product of the brand).
A strong, minimalist, contemporary sculptural presence: the elegant mirrored sphere draws the eye when off, then reveals, once illuminated, an intense and hypnotic light explosion at its core.
The iconic crown, suspended at the sphere’s center, becomes the focal point of the piece. It seems to float in a vibrant luminous universe, creating a spectacular and instantly recognizable visual effect.
Aurora Nova embodies a purified, confident vision of light: a strong, direct, immersive luminous signature, designed as a genuine contemporary pop artwork.
- Sphere LED lamp with mirror effect
- Simple, immediate switch-on
- Intense signature lighting (see photos)
The numbering visible in the photos is shown as an example. The delivered artwork will bear the edition number indicated in this listing.
Lamp in a limited edition, numbered, signed and delivered with an authenticity certificate " AMA ".
Fast and careful shipping (bubble wrap, tissue paper and cardboard) with signature on delivery.
Luminescent sculpture composed of a resin base and a silvery synthetic-rigid glass-like globe, mass-produced and customized, finished by hand by the artist Pope using a manual application technique of premium polymer vinyl.
The work personally executed by the artist includes graphic design, adaptation of the image 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 customized and hand-finished by the artist Pope.
The limited edition applies exclusively to the graphic customization and artistic finish performed by the artist Pope, and not to the base commercially manufactured luminous sculpture.
Edition of artistic customization and finish: 6/20 — 2025.
Who is Pope?
Pope, co-founder of the AMA collective, develops a unique artistic universe driven by a visual arts practice 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 marveling eye, attentive to both simplicity and the complexity of the world around him.
Pope mainly derives 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 as a gift, a memento or part of your personal contemporary art collection, you will surely 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 creations (limited or not), addressing a wide range of themes such as cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum), the dollar, money, gold, wealth, the sex industry, drug harm, luxury and haute couture brands, the world of comics and video games, the pharmaceutical industry and medicines, recycling and upcycling, agro-food and fashion industry products (sport, sneakers...).
Brands guide our choices and often our lives without us realizing it. Aware of this impact, Pope enjoys misplacing labels with mischief 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.
