SOMETHING WICKEDTHISWAY COMES
CHARLOTTEROSE&THECONNORBROTHERS
West Chelsea Contemporary is proud to present Something Wicked This Way Comes, a delightfully mischievous duo exhibition featuring Charlotte Rose & The Connor Brothers.
Coming off two sold out shows in London, Charlotte Rose is one of the UK’s most exciting emerging artists. Her vibrant collection of work explores the complexities of cultural consumption and nostalgic branding, revealing themes of mortality, fate, and desire through a lens of disillusionment. Previous shows have brought her work to the attention of collectors such as Yungblud, PhoebeWaller Bridge, and Schoony as well as collaborations with renowned brands such as Coach, Jo Malone, and Gucci.
Renowned for their incisive blend of pop art aesthetics and subversive cultural commentary, The Connor Brothers, a pseudonym for British artists James Golding and Mike Snelle, are one of the most influential art duos of the last decade. The duo have sold out shows at galleries in LA, New York, Sydney, Dubai, London, Hong Kong and Berlin, were featured in Banksy’s Dismaland, and have continued collaboration with the mental health nonprofit CALM. Their works have graced major international venues and prestigious collections, including The Victoria and Albert Museum and the Penguin Collection.
Marking their debut exhibition in Austin, Something Wicked This Way Comes presents a brilliantly cheeky dialogue on contemporary popular culture through the distinct lenses of these dynamic artists. Join West Chelsea Contemporary for the most anticipated exhibition of the season
CHARLOTTE ROSE
British, b 1998
Charlotte Rose is an emerging British pop artist known for her vibrant work that explores nostalgic branding and the deceptive allure of advertising Rose works predominantly on vibrant large scale wooden panel and canvas and dances between the mediums of acrylic and oil. Since her first solo show in 2021, her work has attracted high-profile collectors such as Schoony, Yungblud, and Phoebe WallerBridge She has collaborated with renowned brands such as Coach, Gucci, and Jo Malone .
Rose's art juxtaposes seductive visual aesthetics with darker themes, such as the harmful realities behind advertising’s glossy façade. Her work prescribes new truths to an old illusion, each painting an exploration of the 'dream' sold by companies to push poisonous goods. Influenced by pop culture icons like Andy Warhol and Harland Miller, Rose plays with repetition and branding in her bold and striking designs to reveal themes of mortality, fate, and desire.

THE CONNOR BROTHERS
British, b 1968
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. Their identities were revealed in 2014 in a major feature by Mick Brown in The Telegraph magazine, allowing them to undertake more ambitious projects.
Best known for their Pulp Fiction series, the pair are also known for their activist work and their playful hoaxes In 2014 they created a fictional museum -The Hanbury Collection, which fused truth and fiction in such a way as to render it impossible to work out which exhibits were real and which were not. This obsession with truth and fiction can be seen throughout their work, and is particularly relevant in the current climate of fake news, post-truth, and social media obsession
The Connor Brothers have been amongst the most prominent artistic voices to comment on the refugee crisis The duo worked for several years in The Jungle refugee camp in Calais building shelters and undertook an international billboard campaign highlighting the plight of displaced people - Refuchic. Closely associated with the Russian activist group Pussy Riot, The Connor Brothers produced their 2015 refugee themed theatrical performance at Banksy’s Dismaland More recently they have teamed up with Professor Green and the mental health charity CALM to raise funds and awareness about the UK’s epidemic of male depression and suicide.
The Connor Brothers have exhibited internationally from New York, Sydney and Dubai to London, Hong Kong and Berlin. Their work frequently appears at major auction houses where a record price was achieved in 2020. Works can also be found in major public and private collections including The Victoria and Albert Museum, The Penguin Collection and both the Omer Koc and Niarchos Collections.
