RARELY PURE AND NEVER SIMPLE
The Connor Brothers
British artist duo The Connor Brothers present their latest exhibition to be opened in Ljubljana on September 14th, at Visconti Fine Art Gallery (Mestni Trg 18/ I.floor).
The Connor Brother's work explores the nature of truth and fiction, often blurring the line between the two. They first came into the public eye in 2013 disguised as American twins who had escaped from an
extreme Christian cult.
Since then they have exhibited internationally and in 2015 curated Pussy Riot's performance at Banksy's Dismaland exhibition.
Their work is held in private and public collections throughout the World including The Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
The Connor Brothers is a pseudonym for artists Mike Snelle (b.1978) and James Golding (b.1975). They have exhibited in London, New York, Hong Kong, Germany, Los Angeles, Sydney, Melbourne, Cape Town and Johannesburg.
