In a world where we are bombarded with so much imagery and words from the media, with cancel culture feeling sometimes like a cult… How do we separate our own essence from groupthink? In a world where politics seems more like a reality TV show rather than a service FOR the people? In a world where we seem to be more on show than ever, it begs the question why are there topics (which should be out of the shadows) still rather taboo? 

Is something true because it is more convenient? Sometimes it’s easier to deal with a reassuring lie than an inconvenient truth. They say the truth is stranger than fiction and to what extent is that true? Certainly for my own life you honestly couldn't make it up if you tried....This lies at the heart of the work.

Both uplifting and skeptical, these works are a penetrating and punchy look at how we relate to others and to ourselves, in an ever increasingly digitalized world. How are relationships navigated and formed, now we seemingly have love affairs with our screens instead.

The last ever images from the Connor Brothers PULP FICTION series are being showcased at our favourite, Box Galleries in Chelsea until 31st July 2020 and once they have gone, they have gone! Prices range from £1,950 to £7,500.

The pieces are a poignant mélange of nostalgic imagery recontextulising artworks from; 50s dime novels of vintage pin up beauties, old Hollywood starlets and disheveled heroes juxtaposed with witty captions. They are iconic hand embellished pigment prints with varnish, float mounted and framed in hand made ash frames.  They encapsulate the ebb and flow of the human experience… in which we are always co-creating from our awareness to try and process the unease we can all feel at times.
