About The Connor Brothers: Fiction as Practice
The Connor Brothers is the working name of British artists Mike Snelle and James Golding, formerly London gallery owners, who launched their partnership in 2013. Their practice layers witty, provocative text over vintage pulp paperback and mid-century imagery styled after Penguin and Pelican book covers. For years the pair maintained an invented backstory, claiming to be twin American brothers who had escaped a cult — a fiction that became part of the work itself, needling at the same questions of authenticity and belief their paintings ask of everyone else. Their work is held in the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Penguin Collection.
The Style: Literary References and One-Liners
The Connor Brothers pair literary reference points — poets, philosophers, cynics — with the provocative one-liners that have become their signature, using a nostalgic, mass-market book-cover aesthetic to deliver commentary that's anything but nostalgic. Recent work has widened that target to contemporary politics: their release American Psycho reworks the cover of Bret Easton Ellis's cult novel, replacing the original author credit with Donald J. Trump, set against a red, white and blue ground with a Stars and Stripes motif — a smaller-format addition to their widely collected Penguin Book series, released at a more accessible £995 with an edition capped at 75 worldwide.

Why Collect The Connor Brothers
Few artists working in this space combine a genuinely collected institutional profile — the V&A, the Penguin Collection, a growing auction record — with the willingness to put out something as deliberately provocative as American Psycho. As with any artist, individual pieces vary in demand and value — our team is happy to talk you through the specifics of any work you're considering.
