The Connor Brothers

The Connor Brothers – Contemporary Satirical & Literary Artists

The Connor Brothers are internationally recognised contemporary artists known for their sharp blend of retro imagery, literary references and contemporary satire. Their work draws inspiration from vintage book covers, including Penguin Classics and 1950s pulp fiction, which they reimagine with witty, ironic and often provocative text that challenges assumptions about truth, culture and identity.

Working under the pseudonym The Connor Brothers, British artists Mike Snelle and James Golding initially presented themselves as fictional twins, using myth and storytelling as an extension of their artistic practice. This exploration of truth versus fiction remains central to their work, particularly relevant in an era shaped by media, social narratives and post-truth culture.

Their best-known artworks combine nostalgic figurative imagery with quotes from poets, writers and cultural commentators, creating striking juxtapositions that are humorous, thought-provoking and emotionally resonant. Alongside their artistic practice, The Connor Brothers are active supporters of social causes, including mental health awareness and refugee charities.
