NOTHING LASTS FOREVER
"Nothing Lasts Forever" confronts us with the impermanence of all things, capturing the fleeting nature of existence. In this painting by The Connor Brothers, a T-rex skeleton set against a backdrop of blue, hints of green, and red symbolizes the inevitable passage of time and the transience of life, even for the most powerful beings. The bare bones of the once-mighty dinosaur evoke a sense of vulnerability and remind us of our own mortality. Through "Nothing Lasts Forever," we are encouraged to reflect on the beauty and fragility of each moment, embracing life’s impermanence as a call to live more deeply.
The Connor Brothers is the pseudonym for British artists James Golding and Mike Snelle. The duo came to prominence in 2012 and for several years maintained their anonymity by using a fictional biography.
The Connor Brothers’ art intertwines text and imagery to anthropomorphize dinosaurs, bringing to life contemporary fears, hopes and anxieties through a lens that blends unsettling truths with lightheartedness.
This new series ‘Jurassic Dreams’ by the acclaimed UK-based art duo was commisioned by us and is the result of a year long process that was kickstarted in Tucson, AZ in 2023.
