AMA • Pope (1985) - Aurora Eth Moonshot - ETHEREUM

AMA • Pope (1985) - "Aurora Eth Moonshot" - Ethereum - 9/20

Often imitated, never equaled: the original Aurora, signed "Pope".

When speculation becomes a cosmic promise.

Following the success of the Aurora Borealis series, the Original Aurora Counterfeit, the Aurora Authentic Fake… Pope continues his ironic exploration of contemporary myths, between decentralized finance, digital culture, and a quasi-mystical projection toward new horizons of wealth.

"Aurora Eth Moonshot" distorts the Ethereum imaginary to turn it into a luminous, chrome, hypnotic, almost liturgical art object.

On the front face, the message is clear:
"Eth" for Ethereum, frozen as a generational symbol, immediately recognizable.

On the sides, the formula asserts itself, unambiguous:
"TO THE MOON".

A modern incantation.
A collective promise engraved in wood.

By day: a chrome, futuristic, almost clinical icon.
By night: a multicolored aurora borealis fills the space.
A radical contrast between blockchain technology and speculative belief.

A luminous sculpture made of a resin base and a silver teddy bear in a rigid synthetic material with a glass-like appearance, commercially manufactured and customized, finished by hand by the artist Pope using a manual application technique of premium polymer vinyl.
The work personally carried out by the artist includes graphic design, adapting the visual to the sculpture’s form, precise vinyl cutting, as well as the positioning and manual application of each element.
Each copy of this edition is individually personalized and hand-finished by the artist Pope.
The limited edition applies exclusively to the graphic customization and artistic finish carried out by the artist Pope, and not to the commercially manufactured base luminous sculpture.

Who is Pope?

Pope, cofounder of the AMA collective, develops a singular artistic universe driven by a practice of the visual arts since childhood, 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 wonder-filled gaze, attentive to both the simplicity and the complexity of the world around him.

Pope primarily 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 as a gift, a keepsake, or part of 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 and pop art (in limited editions or not), addressing a wide range of themes such as cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum), the dollar, money, gold, wealth, the sex industry, drug abuse, luxury brands and haute couture, the world of comics and videogames, the pharmaceutical industry and medicines, recycling and upcycling, products of the agri-food and fashion industries (sport, sneakers...).

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