The collection is being shown at Art Pistol in Cresswell Lane this Saturday. The event starts at 2pm.

Gallery owner Suzie Carter told Glasgow West End Today: "Eleanor is back on the Art Pistol walls with a beautiful body of work exploring Celtic emigration.

"It's very painterly and considered work and right up our street, as it feels a wee bit different and is very engaging."

Literature for the show describes the works as "distinctively loose and free, aesthetically tight and considered".

 Graduate: Eleanor is a former student of The Glasgow School of Art. Work: To Melt Back Into A Sea Of Faces.

It adds: "Allow an alluring explosion of colours to pull you into the intriguing moments Eleanor Carlingford has confidently found with her latest body of work.

"It’s been a while, but it’s absolutely been worth the wait."

The gallery says all are welcome. Drinks will be served.
