The Connor Brothers: Art That Doesn’t Play Nice (And Why That’s a Good Thing)
by Electric Gallery
Thursday 17 July 2025
They didn’t grow up in a cult. They’re not actually brothers. And they’re definitely not here to play it safe. Welcome to the sharp, satirical, and endlessly collectible world of The Connor Brothers, available now at Electric Gallery.
Who Are The Connor Brothers, Anyway?
Let’s start with the myth: two brothers raised in a Californian cult, escaping into the outside world armed only with old paperbacks and wide-eyed wonder.
Now, the truth: Mike Snelle and James Golding, two British artists who used that fictional backstory as a clever decoy and a way to explore themes of mental health, identity, and the fine line between fact and fiction in both art and life. Spoiler alert: it worked.
Since unveiling their real identities, they have become household names in contemporary art, known for their slick wit and bold aesthetic with pulp fiction style covers overlaid with punchy one-liners that skewer everything from fame and politics to self-worth and drinking habits.
Their Signature Style: Pulp Fiction Meets Pop Art
Picture this: 1950s paperback covers reimagined with razor-sharp quotes like:

Their works are equal parts funny, provocative, and achingly honest. A heady mix of nostalgia and relevance. Whether it’s a dig at conformity or a love letter to individualism, the brothers’ art hits you where it matters: in the gut, then in the brain.
Why Collectors (and Celebrities) Can’t Get Enough of The Connor Brothers
Beyond the bold typography & vintage charm, there is a strong sense of cultural critique that’s hard to ignore and collectors are paying attention.
Their work has appeared at international art fairs, in major charity auctions, and on the walls of both serious collectors and celebrities. With limited editions regularly selling out, their market presence continues to grow.
