The Story
Size:13 x 15 in.
The Connor Brothers’ original painting All I Ever Wanted Was More Everything, sized at 5" x 7", captures a poignant mix of longing and glamour through its clever reworking of vintage pulp fiction imagery. Against a textured, muted blue background, a woman in a rich red dress gazes downward, her expression one of wistful contemplation. Above her, simple typewritten fragments state, "all i ever wanted was more everything", summing up the endless human pursuit of fulfilment with both humour and melancholy.
Mike Snelle and James Golding, the duo behind the Connor Brothers, have long explored the interplay between truth and fiction, beginning their careers under a fabricated persona as traumatised twins from a Californian cult. Their early choice to shield their personal experiences behind this fiction reflects the very themes they examine in their art: the blurred lines between reality and storytelling.
Their works offer ironic and incisive commentaries on modern life, using retro visuals and literary snippets to challenge preconceptions. All I Ever Wanted Was More Everything invites reflection on consumerism, desire, and emotional complexity, demonstrating the duo’s ability to weave powerful messages through playful imagery. Their pieces continue to captivate collectors and audiences worldwide, encouraging viewers to question what they see and feel.
