AMA • Pope (1985) - "Aurora Nova" - CHANEL - 7/20

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, on the theme of the French haute couture house Chanel (this is not an official brand object).

A strong, minimalist and contemporary sculptural presence: the elegant mirrored sphere attracts the eye when off, then reveals, once lit, an intense and hypnotic light 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 purified and confident vision of light: a strong, direct, immersive luminous signature, conceived as a true contemporary pop artwork.

Who is Pope?

Pope, cofounder of the AMA collective, develops a singular artistic universe rooted in visual arts practice since childhood, with a high standard of detail and a meticulous visual research.
Through sculptures, paintings and installations, he draws inspiration from photography, urban landscapes and everyday scenes, with a sensitive and awestruck 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 through 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 as a gift, a memento or your personal collection of contemporary art, you will easily find your favorite 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), covering a wide spectrum of themes such as cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum), the dollar, money, gold, wealth, the sex industry, drug harms, luxury and haute couture brands, the world of comics and video games, the pharmaceutical industry and medicines, recycling and upcycling, agro-food and fashion products (sport, sneakers...).

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