About the Artist

The Connor Brothers are British artists Mike Snelle and James Golding, who burst onto the contemporary art scene in 2012 shrouded in an elaborate fictional identity. Their work sits at the intersection of pop culture, visual satire and conceptual art, drawing on 1950s pulp fiction paperback covers, vintage Hollywood imagery and retro advertising aesthetics.

Their signature style layers ironic, deadpan text over dramatically posed pin-up portraits and bold blocks of flat colour, creating works that are visually immediate but intellectually layered. The juxtaposition of cliché imagery with sharp, often unexpected copy gives each piece a wit and tension that rewards closer reading. Their prints are produced as limited edition silkscreens and have been auctioned through Christie's and Bonhams, with sell-out exhibitions across London, Hong Kong, Los Angeles and Sydney.

Alongside commercial success, their practice is rooted in activism, raising funds for mental health charities and refugee causes through their art.

Curator's Comment:

"The Connor Brothers work particularly well in schemes where you want the artwork to carry the room's personality without relying on abstraction. The strong graphic structure and high contrast palette mean they read confidently from a distance, which makes them an excellent choice for larger reception spaces, statement walls in hospitality settings or any scheme where the artwork needs to function as an immediate visual anchor.

The text element adds a layer that most purely decorative works cannot offer: it creates a talking point, which in client-facing and hospitality environments is genuinely valuable. They work equally well grouped in a more curated salon hang, where the consistent visual language across the series holds the arrangement together with minimal styling effort."
