The Connor Brothers’ Absence Makes The Days Grow Longer is a compelling work that fuses nostalgia with modern introspection. A contemplative figure reclines in delicate, shimmering fabrics, her features softly rendered in tones that evoke a quiet elegance. The soothing greens and blues of the background contrast beautifully with warmer skin tones, creating a scene of gentle calm.
The subtle brushwork and interplay of texture invite close viewing, while the evocative title adds a narrative layer that touches on themes of longing and emotional distance. True to The Connor Brothers’ style, the piece weaves classic motifs with contemporary sensibilities, making it both visually striking and thought-provoking.

Mike Snelle and James Golding—who make art under the moniker “the Connor Brothers”—juxtapose pin-up style portraits of women with blocks of solid color and deadpan snippets of text.
The British artists’ chic, slick paintings and works on paper explore artifice and sensational storytelling, themes that they initially folded into their fictional artist personas: The Connor Brothers at first maintained that they were twin brothers who had escaped from a California cult to start creating art, although they have since shed this fictional backstory.
The Connor Brothers have exhibited in London, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, and Sydney.
