Luminous sculpture composed of a resin base and a silver bear made of rigid synthetic material with a glass-like appearance, commercially manufactured and customized, finished by hand by the artist Pope using a manual application technique for premium polymer vinyl. The work personally executed by the artist includes graphic design, adaptation of the visual to the sculpture’s shapes, precision 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 personalization and artistic finish performed 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 strict attention to detail and careful visual research. Through sculptures, paintings and installations, he draws inspiration from photography, urban landscapes and everyday scenes, with a delicate and astonished gaze, attentive to both the simplicity and the complexity of the surrounding world.

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 as a gift, a keepsake, or your personal collection of contemporary art, you will surely find a favorite piece thanks to the diversity of our works. Indeed, Pope pursues his urban art passion through street art (streetart) and pop art (popart) creations (limited or not), addressing a wide range of themes such as cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum), the dollar, money, gold, wealth, the sex industry, drug harms, luxury brands and haute couture, the world of comics and video games, 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 twist 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.
