This year's exhibition features over fifty works from an international list of artists that together display a diverse range of styles and painterly techniques, highlighting the vitality of portrait painting today. The BP Portrait Award 2006 also displays the work of 2005's Travel Award winner, Joel Ely, who travelled to Bilbao in Spain to document the 'Txoko', a gastronomic social club where men meet to prepare and eat traditional Basque food.
