AMA • Pope (1985) - Aurora NotArt

AMA • Pope (1985) - "Aurora NotArt" - 11/20 When art dissolves into business. Following the success of the Aurora Borealis series, Aurora Original Counterfeit, Aurora Authentic Fake, Aurora Get Rich… AMA continues its ironic exploration of luxury codes, perceived value, and the slogans that govern our era. "Aurora NotArt" – Not Art, Only Business condenses the era into three simple, almost cynical words, engraved like an advertising truth… and yet transformed into a luminous, chrome, hypnotic object, at the border of a manifesto. On the base, the message is blunt: NOT ART. And just after, without unnecessary poetry, the sentence completes: ONLY / BUSINESS. A cold, assumed declaration. A punchline that sounds like a modern-day rule of the game: this isn’t art… it’s business. The day: a mirrored, brilliant icon, almost clinical. The night: a northern lights of reflections and flashes, immersive, fascinating, almost “too beautiful” to be innocent. A deliberate contrast: the spectacle on one side, the truth on the other.

Who is Pope? Pope, cofounder of the AMA collective, develops a singular artistic universe driven by a practice in fine arts since childhood, with meticulous attention to detail and careful 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 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 keepsake, or part of your personal collection of contemporary art, you’ll easily find your favorite among our works. Indeed, Pope pursues his passion for urban art through street art and pop art creations (in limited or non-limited editions), addressing a wide range 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, agro-food and fashion industry products (sport, sneakers...), Brands guide our choices and often our lives without us realizing it. Aware of this impact, Pope enjoys wryly 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), Nintendo, Sega, Tintin, Lego, Pokemon, Vans and many more.
