The Connor Brothers

Art as Freedom

It was however when they both had hit sixteen years old that they decided that they needed to get out of this situation and experience the outside world for themselves. So they left their family and moved about on freight trains for several years, before finally they settled in Brooklyn. Having been starved of information and culture for so long, they unsurprisingly had insatiable appetites to learn, watch, listen and read. Soon they developed their own practice whereby each of them would explore a new cultural avenue through independent research before then sharing what they had learned to the other through notebooks and sketchpads.

Insatiable Culture Appetite

This practice of sharing information through their own language was what then prompted them to start creating their own art. These notepads and sketchbooks became at once a means of making sense of what they had learned and a form of expression in itself. Because of this unique creative process, their art often contains references to historical themes, as well as contemporary theory and culture, and everything in between. Their project is therefore like all the best postmodernist art in that it explores how meaning is created and interrogates how we understand the world.

The Connor Brothers are fictional characters created by the artists known as The Connor Brothers. Their work prompts us to explore the boundaries between truth and fiction, and how we create meaning from what we experience.

Limited Edition Prints

We are lucky enough to have a number of limited edition signed silkscreen prints from The Connor Brothers. These all showcase the humour and the intelligence of the brothers, as witty epigrams are combined with strikingly elegant images to create a perfect blend of beauty and sharp satire. These pieces are brimming with their own distinct energy and they would each add a lot to any art lover's room.
