Who is Pope?

Pope, cofounder of the AMA collective, develops a singular artistic universe driven by a practice in the plastic arts since childhood, a strong demand 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 simplicity and the complexity of the world around him.

Pope mainly draws inspiration from the world around him but also from art 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 you’re shopping for a gift, a keepsake, or your personal contemporary art collection, you’ll easily find a favorite thanks to the diversity of our works. Indeed, Pope pursues his urban art passion through street art and pop art (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 and high fashion brands, the world of comics and video games, the pharmaceutical industry and medicines, recycling and upcycling, agro-food and fashion industry products (sport, sneakers, etc.).

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