I Can Resist Everything Except Temptation by The Connor Brothers Explore Mondoir Collection Medium: Hand painted vintage book with silkscreen Dimensions: 27 x 20.5 cm Year: 2017 Price on request Status: available Why collect this work?The centered slogan interrupts a tightly cropped vintage image, making temptation less a private feeling than a polished, repeatable pose. The supplied artist profile describes The Connor Brothers as a British duo who combine vintage imagery with text. Here, that pairing matters because neither image nor phrase retains a fixed tone once joined.The photograph shows a frontal figure whose eyes are concealed by pale sunglasses. Across her chest, the all-capitals statement “I CAN RESIST EVERYTHING EXCEPT TEMPTATION” shifts between declaration, joke, and self-advertisement.The catalogue records a hand-painted vintage book with silkscreen. Its book format gives the image the compact scale of a circulated object, while silkscreen makes the lettering crisp enough to dominate the reproduced figure.Encountered as a work about captions and borrowed imagery, it demonstrates how a familiar sentence can recast composure as performance while leaving uncertain whether the figure controls desire or is being used to sell it.
