AMA • Pope (1985) - "Aurora Nova" - CHANEL - 8/20 Following in the wake of the original luminous works from the Aurora Borealis collection, discover "Aurora Nova," a handmade, limited-edition personalized light sculpture in 20 copies for 2025, inspired by the French haute couture house Chanel (this is not an official brand object). A strong, minimalist, contemporary sculptural presence: the elegant mirrored sphere catches the eye when off, then reveals, once illuminated, an intense and hypnotic light explosion at its center. The iconic CC monogram, suspended at the center of the sphere, becomes the focal point of the work. It appears to float in a vibrant luminous universe, creating a spectacular and instantly recognizable visual effect. Aurora Nova embodies a purified, unequivocal vision of light: a strong, direct, immersive light signature, designed as a true contemporary pop artwork. - LED sphere lamp with mirror effect - Simple, immediate switch-on - Intense signature lighting (see photos) Limited edition lamp, numbered, signed and delivered with a certificate of authenticity. Fast and careful shipping (bubble wrap, tissue paper and cardboard) with signature on delivery. Luminous sculpture composed of a resin base and a silver synthetic rigid-glass-look sphere, commercially manufactured and customized, finished by hand by the artist Pope using a manual application technique of premium polymer vinyl. The work personally executed by the artist includes graphic design, adapting the visual to the sculpture’s shapes, precise vinyl cutting, as well as 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 graphical customization and artistic finish carried out by the artist Pope, and not to the commercially manufactured base luminous sculpture. Who is Pope? Pope, co-founder of the collective AMA, develops a singular artistic universe driven by a practice of visual arts since childhood, a high standard 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 amazed 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 memory 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 urban art passion through street art (streetart) and pop art (popart) creations (in limited edition or not), covering a wide range of themes such as cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum), the dollar, money, gold, wealth, the sex industry, drug use, luxury brands and haute couture, the world of comics and video games, the pharmaceutical industry and medicines, recycling and upcycling, agro-food industry products and fashion (sport, sneakers...), Brands guide our choices and often our lives without us realizing it. Aware of this impact, Pope likes to mischievously divert 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. Dear bidders, our collective makes every effort to ensure that all information necessary to assess the lot sold is clearly detailed in the listing: dimensions, weight, description and photos... After the sale, no unfounded claims will be considered. Thank you for your understanding.
