About the Art and the Artist

– ‘I can Resist Everything Except Temptation’. By combining Old Masters’ works and Mills and Boon romantic book covers with witty texts seeking to make fun of a modern, materialistic world, the Connor Brothers blur the lines between truth and fiction, as seen in pieces such as ‘First of All Nothing Will Happen and a Little Later Nothing Will Happen Again,’ 2015.

The juxtaposition of traditional yet modern, cynical yet light hearted works create a thought-provoking tone, as evident in pieces such as ‘Whatever You Do Will Be Insignificant,’ 2015, and ‘The Truth is Rarely Pure and Never Simple,’ 2017.

Other works adopt a more sincere, political lens, such as ‘Poor People,’ and ‘I Hate EU,’ both 2016.

Others embrace a more subtle, elegant look, illustrated in pieces such as ‘I Became Insane with Long Periods of Horrible Sanity,’ 2017, and ‘She Generally Gave Herself Good Advice but She Very Seldom Followed it Up,’ 2017.
