AMA • Pope (1985) - aMen - McDonald's

AMA • Pope (1985) - "aMen" - McDonald’s - 5/20 Complete your Pop Art collection with this hand-painted and hand-customized figurine on the McDonald’s theme (this is not an official brand item) in a limited edition of only 20 copies for 2025. "aMen" humorously and irreverently twists the codes of religious iconography to confront them with one of the most universal religions of the 21st century: consumption. In this work, the Virgin no longer dispenses blessings and miracles, but presents to the faithful the true objects of worship of our era: two Big Macs, instantly recognizable symbols of mass culture. Between devotion, marketing and social satire, "aMen" questions our relationship with brands, modern rituals, and the new forms of adoration that rhythm our daily lives. At the boundary between contemporary art, popular culture and offbeat humor, this piece leaves no one indifferent and immediately sparks discussion. The numbering visible in the photos is shown as an example. The delivered artwork will bear the edition number indicated in this listing. Artwork numbered in a limited edition, dated, signed and delivered with certificate of authenticity. Fast and careful shipping (bubble wrap, tissue paper and carton) with signature required on delivery. Sculpture created for commercial purposes, hand-retouched by the artist Pope using a premium polymer vinyl customization technique, including graphic design, precision cutting, careful positioning and fully manual application of the visual elements. Who is Pope? Pope, co-founder of the AMA collective, develops a distinctive artistic universe driven by a practice in the 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 wondrous gaze, attentive to both the simplicity and the complexity of the world around him. Pope primarily draws inspiration from the world around him but also from movements 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 memento 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 and pop art (in limited or unlimited 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 brand names and haute couture, the world of comics and video games, the pharmaceutical industry and medicines, recycling and upcycling, food and fashion industry products (sports, sneakers...). Brands guide our choices and often our lives without us realizing it. Aware of this impact, Pope likes to mischievously subvert 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 evaluate the lot is clearly detailed in the listing: dimensions, weight, description and photos... After the sale, no unjustified claims will be accepted. Thank you for your understanding.
