Guy Hepner Gallery (300 N. Robertson Blvd. West Hollywood 90048) presents 'True Love Stories', the Connor Brothers' first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, opening Friday, November 22, 2013. Following their sold out London exhibition, controversial twins Franklyn and Brendan Connor return to home soil for their highly anticipated first US solo show. Both critically and commercially successful, the twins continue their scathing and humorous exploration of relationships in the digital age. Take any painting in True Love Stories and it might make you smile; when taken as a series however, a perceptive and disturbing critique of contemporary American culture begins to appear. It is this combination of irreverence and humor on one hand and highly critical and penetrating content on the other, which has garnered the Connor Brothers such an enthusiastic international following.
