Artist Spotlight – The Connor Brothers

The Connor Brothers are British artists James Golding and Mike Snelle, a dynamic duo who challenge notions of truth and fiction whilst captivating audiences worldwide with their visually striking works that resonate in this era of post-truth, fake news and social media.

The exact origins of The Connor Brothers add an intriguing layer to their artistic persona. They initially claimed to be American twins who, raised in an extremist Christian cult, escaped their upbringing through art.

However, it was later revealed that their elaborate backstory was an entirely fictional artistic invention designed to challenge the authenticity of narratives.

Their eye-catching art often features vintage book covers and text, juxtaposed with provocative statements and pop culture references. Through a combination of thought-provoking and ironic text and imagery, The Connor Brothers explore themes of love, loss, identity, and the power of storytelling.

Through their clever fusion of fact and fiction, they encourage viewers to explore their own perceptions, experiences, and the stories that shape their lives.
