A vibrant exhibition of pastel paintings by Birmingham artist Brian Prangle.

This exhibition showcases a new collection of pastel paintings by Birmingham artist Brian Prangle. The display brings together vibrant city scenes, portraits, landscapes and animals, all created in Brian’s distinctive pastel style with a vivid and dreamy quality.

The exhibition includes Riding the Iron Road, a series depicting well-known Birmingham tram stops and celebrating the city’s transport heritage through colour and atmosphere.

You can:

  • explore a wide range of pastel works
  • see the Riding the Iron Road series
  • enjoy pieces that highlight Birmingham life and character

Brian has delivered two Creative Club workshops at the Hive, sharing his techniques and approach to pastel art. Look out for future opportunities to learn from him.

All artworks are for sale. The exhibition runs until 20 February.

The Hive café is open Tuesday to Friday from 7:30am to 3:30pm.
