The Connor Brothers

The Connor Brothers | Romeo and Juliet,hand finished is a limited edition print by internationally-renowned artistic duo, The Connor Brothers. This satirical artwork is part of an ongoing collection by the pair, styled around classic books and plays.

Released in time for Valentine’s Day 2024, this work is a playful reminder that most couples fare far better than the notorious star-crossed lovers.

This hand-coloured giclée print is from a limited edition of 40, signed and numbered by the artists.

Posing as Franklyn and Brendan Connor – American twins brought up in an extremist Christian cult known as ‘The Family’ and deprived of access to information from the outside world – The Connor Brothers were eventually revealed as art-dealers-turned-artists, Mike Snelle and James Golding.

True to this fictional mythology, their satirical work continues to blur the boundaries between truth and fabrication, creating acrylic and oil paintings that pose as large-scale book covers with a film-noir twist.

The resulting retro imagery, replete with unexpected and unsettling narratives, offers a unique perspective on modern popular culture that has cemented The Connor Brothers as one of the most influential art duos of the decade.
