The Connor
Brothers

Painting · Mixed Media · Text Art

The Connor Brothers are a British artistic duo whose work blends pulp fiction imagery with incisive social and political commentary. Working primarily with vintage paperback book covers as their substrate, they overpaint the lurid illustrations of mid-century romance and adventure novels with unexpected, often subversive text — transforming kitsch into critique.

The duo's identity has been shrouded in deliberate mystery, and their work has attracted a devoted following among collectors and institutions alike. They have exhibited widely across the UK, Europe, and the United States, and their work has been acquired by prominent private collectors and cultural institutions.
