AMA • Pope (1985) - Aurora Borealis - Supreme

AMA • Pope (1985) - "Aurora Borealis" - Supreme - 7/20 Continuing his works that blend irony and contemporary symbols, Pope explores here the world of streetwear and brand culture, where desire becomes collective and the image exceeds the object. "Aurora Borealis" reinterprets that imagination to turn it into a luminous, chrome, hypnotic piece, almost ritual. On the front, the message is immediate: SUPREME, frozen like a symbol, recognizable above all. On the sides, a minimal signature: S. A simple, universal code that evokes belonging. By day, the piece appears as a chrome sculpture, cold and contemporary. By night, a multicolored aurora borealis bursts from within and transforms the object into an immersive light source. A striking contrast between visual minimalism and luminous intensity. "Aurora Borealis" captures an era when the logo becomes identity, and when the object transcends its function to become a true visual signal.

Pope, cofounder of the AMA collective, develops a singular artistic universe driven by a practice of 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 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 for a gift, a keepsake, or your personal collection of contemporary art, you will easily find your favorites thanks to the diversity of our works. Indeed, Pope pursues his urban art passion through street art (streetart) and pop art (popart) — in limited or non-limited editions — addressing a wide spectrum of themes such as cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum), the dollar, money, gold, wealth, the sex industry, drug abuse, luxury and haute couture brands, the world of comics and video games, the pharmaceutical industry and medicines, recycling and upcycling, food and fashion industry products (sports, sneakers...), and more. 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.
