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 high standard of detail and a 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 simplicity and the complexity of the world around him. Pope primarily derives inspiration from the world around him but also through 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 just a few. Whether it’s a gift, a keepsake, or your personal collection of contemporary art, you will easily find your favorite piece thanks to the diversity of our works. Indeed, Pope pursues his passion for urban art through street art (streetart) and pop art (popart) (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, the harms of drugs, luxury brands and high fashion, the world of comics and video games, the pharmaceutical industry and medicines, recycling and upcycling, agricultural and fashion industry products (sport, sneakers...), Brands guide our choices and often our lives without us realizing it.
