A BROMSGROVE artist who paints silhouettes is displaying his work in one of the town centre’s cafes until May.

Philip Brewer moved away from the building trade three years ago to pursue his dream of becoming a full time artist, and since then he has been invited to showcase his art across Birmingham and the West Midlands.

His paintings use a mix of acrylic and emulsion on canvas, showing figures in silhouette against different boldly coloured backgrounds, from sunsets and twilight to cloudy skies and even the ocean.

His latest exhibition is currently on display at Plaza Coffee in Bromsgrove until May 8, with all the paintings on sale. For more information on the paintings, visit silhouettesandshadows.co.uk.
