Framed limited edition
Edition: Artist Proof 2/2, 2018 plus two normal editions.
The Connor Brothers 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. This piece depicts an image of a woman standing confidently with one hand on her hip, dressed in rolled-up jeans and a casual shirt. The picture has a nostalgic and retro “Americana” aesthetic, contrasted by the caption above that reads “The truth is like poetry. Everyone fucking hates poetry“.
The Connor Brothers artworks are prized by art enthusiasts and collectors, due to their global renown and witty, satirical pieces.

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.
