The Connor Brothers, Franklyn and Brendan, are fictional twins who were brought up within an extremist Christian cult referred to as ‘The Family.’ Growing up, the twins did not experience life away from the commune, and so upon entering the outside world they were soon overwhelmed. They began to explore their curiosity via the creation of artwork, focusing on the dynamic between truth and fiction, subverting reality through ‘trying to make sense of the world.’

The duo were subsequently revealed to be British art dealers turned artists Mike Snelle and James Golding. The Connor Brothers have exhibited in galleries in Los Angeles, New York, Sydney, Dubai, London, Hong Kong, and Berlin. Their work is included in various collections: The Victoria and Albert Museum, The Penguin Collection, Omar Koch Collection, and Niarchos Collection. We love the darkly humorous, oftentimes satirical artwork of the Connor Brothers, and its use of found and vintage imagery accompanied by witty copy.
We love the darkly humorous, oftentimes satirical artwork of the Connor Brothers, and its use of found and vintage imagery accompanied by witty copy. Their femme fatale women are accompanied by bold typography that heightens the mystery and intrigue surrounding each artwork. Their poetic phrases are just as beautiful as their vintage-inspired imagery, helping to create an elusive narrative around these fascinating figures.

What is Archival Giclée
Giclée (/ʒiːˈkleɪ/ zhee-KLAY) is a neologism, ultimately derived from the French word gicleur, coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made using inkjet printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on a modified Iris printer in a process invented in the late 1980s. It has since been used widely to mean any fine-art printing, usually archival, printed by inkjet. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops for their high quality printing, but is also used generically for art printing of any quality.
