THE FUTURE IS NOW
"The Future is Now" invites us to pause and consider the unpredictability and urgency of the present. In this painting by The Connor Brothers, where a bright yellow T-rex stands out against a blue-green background, the dinosaur embodies the strength and vulnerability of an era that doesn’t wait for the future but fully experiences itself now. The yellow T-rex, a primal force in a modern world, symbolizes the idea that, like this prehistoric giant, we are compelled to live in the moment despite the unknown. "The Future is Now" thus challenges us to reflect on the contemporary sense of urgency and the need to be fully present in the here and now.
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.
