It’s installation day for FORMS & HORIZONS: A Retrospective of Benjye Troob!
You can view the exhibition now through May 24, and join us for the Opening Reception THIS FRIDAY, April 24 from 6-9pm.
Spanning more than four decades of drawing and painting, this retrospective highlights Benjye’s lifelong dedication to art and her ability to communicate across generations through color, gesture, and imaginative intuition.
The exhibition brings together select works from the late 1990s to today, offering visitors an intimate look at Benjye’s artistic evolution and her ever-shifting yet unmistakable vision. While her style continues to evolve, her art consistently captures both the vitality of the human form and the beauty of the natural world.
Join us in celebrating the past, present, and future of Benjye Troob’s remarkable career in FORMS & HORIZONS: A Retrospective.

Only TWO more weeks to view Jackson Junge Gallery's current exhibition FORMS & HORIZONS: A Retrospective of Benjye Troob!
Known for painting evocative landscapes, Benjye captures atmosphere with a distinct sensitivity to color, gesture, and form.
Originally from the New York area, and having spent three decades in Chicago, Benjye now splits her time between Scottsdale, Arizona and Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
These environments sparked a shift in her color palette and subject matter. The arid desert landscape of the Southwest informs her use of warm, saturated hues—rich oranges, reds, and purples.
See an example of this in her painting "Autumnal Tide", on view in her exhibition now!
