Mike Snelle and James Golding, working collaboratively as The Connor Brothers, are known for pairing pin-up style portraits of women with bold color fields and wry textual fragments. Their sleek paintings and works on paper probe themes of artifice, fiction, and storytelling—concepts first embodied in their invented personas as reclusive twins who had fled a California cult. Though they later revealed their true identities, the duo continues to play with narrative and illusion. The Connor Brothers have exhibited widely, with shows in London, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, and Sydney.
