Artwork Description:
Size:44 x 33 in.
Shelf Obsessions XIII is a clever and visually engaging mixed media piece by The Connor Brothers, presenting a curated row of fictional vintage book spines arranged with deliberate casualness across a stark white background. Measuring 39" x 28", the artwork mimics the familiar comfort of a bookshelf, yet the titles printed along the spines are anything but ordinary. Wry, philosophical and often irreverent, they suggest a library of human contradiction – from self-help and escapism to regret, excess and humour. The subtle coffee-like stains splashed to the right introduce a note of imperfection, hinting at lived experience, distraction and the messy reality behind curated appearances.
This playful blending of nostalgia, satire and conceptual depth is characteristic of The Connor Brothers, the artistic duo formed by Mike Snelle and James Golding. Their work explores the unstable boundaries between truth and invention, an approach rooted in their own beginnings as a fictional identity – a storytelling device that allowed them to speak more freely about reality. The brothers’ practice often interrogates the way culture packages ideas, emotions and identities, inviting viewers to question why certain narratives feel authentic and others fabricated.
Shelf Obsessions XIII is not simply a visual joke, but an invitation to reflect on our personal obsessions, the myths we live by and the stories we choose to believe.
