Framed original
The Connor Brothers’s best-known works offer a playful twist on the conventions of pulp fiction cover art, accompanied by words from the world’s greatest poets, cynics and wits. Their work has quickly gained traction and the artists have gone on to achieve global acclaim.
This work pulsates with colour and is a striking but simple composition. The clean lines and minimalistic design elements contrast with the powerful and provocative text, making this piece a unique blend of literary nostalgia and modern pop art. This piece has a fantastically timeless vintage character to it and its retro feel works well in any space.

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.
