Mike Snelle and James Goldingâwho make art under the moniker âthe Connor Brothersââjuxtapose pin-up style portraits of women with blocks of solid color and deadpan snippets of text.
The British artistsâ 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.
