The Connor Brothers: Blurring Truth and Fiction

The Connor Brothers are British artists Mike Snelle and James Golding, known for their provocative and playful artworks that blur the line between truth and fiction. Their iconic retro-style figurative images and pulp fiction-inspired art challenge cultural norms and force us to rethink assumptions, making them a perfect fit for the modern age of fake news and social media.

Originally presenting themselves as reclusive twins escaping a Californian cult, their fictional backstory captivated the art world before they eventually revealed their true identities. Driven by personal challenges and a shared passion for creative expression, they transformed their own stories into art that resonates with authenticity and irony.

Their work often features satirical juxtapositions of classic imagery and thought-provoking text, blending wit with social commentary. Beyond the canvas, the duo aligns their art with social causes, working on projects like the Refuchic billboard campaign and collaborating with CALM and Banksy’s Dismaland.

With sell-out shows worldwide and works in major collections like the Victoria and Albert Museum, The Connor Brothers continue to captivate audiences with their unique blend of humour, insight, and artistic daring.
