INTRODUCING OUR NEW ADDITIONS (or should I say our new addictions!)
MISS BUGS
Miss Bugs, founded in 2007, started with a background in photography and graphics. The duo developed a unique, spontaneous approach, remixing and sampling existing images to create new artworks. Early on, they worked with small-scale paper pieces, combining screen printing and hand-painted elements. They later expanded to life-size cutouts of characters placed in the streets of London, blending art with urban landscapes.
Today, their work includes larger, more labor-intensive pieces using materials like laser-cut wood, small components, and poured resin. Despite this shift, Miss Bugs’ focus on mixing materials and modern imagery remains central, often exploring the human form through character-driven, collage-inspired portraits. Their work, influenced by artists like Hannah Höch, is known for bold graphic layers of color, pattern, and texture.
Miss Bugs has exhibited internationally in cities like New York, San Francisco, LA, Paris, and London, and their pieces are held in major private collections worldwide. They were featured in the 2021 Jealous x Saatchi Gallery show RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW.
THE CONNOR BROTHERS
The Connor Brothers are a dynamic British art duo known for their provocative and visually striking works that blend pop culture, vintage aesthetics, and sharp social commentary. Initially shrouded in mystery, their identity became part of their artistic persona, playing with the idea of authorship and authenticity. Their signature style fuses bold, retro-inspired imagery with ironic, often humorous text, creating a captivating juxtaposition of glamour and grit. Drawing inspiration from pulp fiction, classic Hollywood, and vintage advertisements, their work challenges perceptions of fame, consumerism, and identity.
Having exhibited internationally, The Connor Brothers’ art has found a global audience and is collected by high-profile individuals and institutions alike. Their work has been featured in major galleries, including Saatchi Gallery in London, and they continue to captivate with their ability to blend nostalgia with a contemporary edge.
