The Story
Size:44 x 44 in.
The Connor Brothers' Of Two Minds, measuring 39 x 39 inches, is a striking and thought-provoking piece that challenges societal assumptions through its retro-inspired aesthetic and witty text. The artwork features a glamorous femme fatale alongside the text, "If you haven’t got anything nice to say, come sit next to me", creating an ironic and playful commentary on human behaviour and social norms. The contrast between the polished vintage style and the sardonic humour encapsulates the duo's signature approach.
Mike Snelle and James Golding, who work under the pseudonym The Connor Brothers, are British artists known for their exploration of truth, fiction, and perception. Originally presenting themselves as reclusive twins who escaped a Californian cult, this fabricated backstory reflected their desire to mask their personal lives while critiquing societal norms. Once their true identities were revealed, their work continued to gain acclaim for its intelligence, wit, and cultural relevance.
Their pulp fiction-inspired compositions often juxtapose bold imagery with satirical or poignant text, inviting viewers to question the distinction between appearance and reality. Beyond the canvas, The Connor Brothers engage with social causes, including mental health awareness and refugee support, aligning their art with a broader message of empathy and introspection.
