Meet the Artists

  • The Connor Brothers

    The thought-provoking artistry of The Connor Brothers is a deep dive into the pressing issues of our time, fearlessly confronting contemporary themes such as social media, politics, the phenomenon of fake news, and the relentless pursuit of pleasure.

    The fictional identity of Mike and James was designed to cloak their personal reality, and such was its success that it captured the imagination of the art world. The Connor Brothers were presented as innocent twins who had emerged traumatised from a Californian cult and were struggling to make sense of the world through their art – an interesting background no doubt, but the truth is more interesting still.

    Their art carries a playful and sometimes irreverent tone, delivered in a stylish retro poster style. This distinctive approach has not only captivated but also mobilized a vast and devoted global audience. The Connor Brothers' work is a testament to the power of art to both provoke thought and inspire dialogue, encapsulating the essence of modern times with elegance, charm and humour.

It wasn't long before he introduced his popular abstract landscapes into galleries, marking a significant shift in his artistic career.
