"Open Minded" explores the theme of curiosity and the willingness to embrace new perspectives. In this painting by The Connor Brothers, featuring a triceratops in shades of green with touches of yellow and orange, the dinosaur symbolizes a powerful yet receptive attitude. The triceratops, often seen as a protective and determined creature, radiates an unexpected openness in this color palette, inviting us to expand our own ways of thinking. With "Open Minded," The Connor Brothers remind us that resilience and openness can go hand in hand, even for the most robust beings.



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.
