AMA • Pope (1985) - Aurora POWER

AMA • Pope (1985) – “Aurora POWER” – 5/20

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

When motivation becomes a luminous force.

Following the success of the Aurora Borealis series, Aurora Contrefaçon Originale, Aurora Authentic Fake… Pope continues his ironic exploration of contemporary myths, between personal achievement, entrepreneurial culture and modern obsession with performance.

"Aurora POWER" – Money, Power, Respect erects a founding triptych of the contemporary business mentality into a luminous, chrome, hypnotic, almost totemic art object.

On the front face, the message asserts itself:
POWER accompanied by a gold W that subtly reprises the emoji of the lightning bolt — a graphic wink to energy, momentum, power.

On the sides, the motto unfolds:
MONEY / RESPECT.

A universal mantra.
A leitmotif engraved in matter.
An emblematic triad of modern motivational culture.

The ribbed and textured black vinyl dialogues with chrome surfaces and iridescent reflections, while the inner light transforms the sculpture into a true visual engine, pulsating like a source of creative energy.

By day: a bright, cold, statuesque icon.
By night: a multicolored aurora borealis blazing through space.
A striking contrast between individual ambition and the collective fascination with success.

Who is Pope?

Pope, co-founder of the AMA collective, develops a singular artistic universe powered by a practice of visual 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 awed 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 from 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 a few.

Whether as a gift, a souvenir or part of your personal collection of contemporary art, you will easily find your favorite thanks to the diversity of our works. Indeed, Pope pursues his urban art passion through street art (streetart) and pop art (popart) creations (limited edition or not), addressing a wide spectrum of themes such as cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum), the dollar, money, gold, wealth, the sex industry, the harms of drugs, luxury brands and haute couture, the world of comics and video games, the pharmaceutical industry and medicines, recycling and upcycling, agro-food and fashion products (sports, sneakers...).

Brand names guide our choices and often our lives without us realizing it. Aware of this impact, Pope enjoys mischievously twisting 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.
