ABOUT THE ARTIST
Ben Roe Jr. is an American painter, collage artist, and experimental musician based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Born in Indianapolis, he earned his BFA in Painting from Indiana University, Bloomington, in 1989. He has lived in New Mexico since the early 1990s, apart from an eight-year period in Brooklyn.
His work combines found imagery, papers, and painted interventions to explore memory, folklore, and the stories people construct around their experiences. His exhibition history includes Harwood Art Center’s SURFACE: Emerging Artists of New Mexico program in 2013; Recurrences at South Broadway Cultural Center in 2019; New Realism at FUSION in 2023; and Measure Twice Cut Once at La Luz de Jesus Gallery, Los Angeles, in 2024. In 2026, his work appeared in the three-person exhibition Route 66: A Deep Imagining, presented by Harwood Art Center and Blue Sky Coworking NM. His painting Elvis and Birds was the subject of a dedicated review by Clarke Condé in Weekly Alibi in 2019. Roe also records as House of the Lie and collaborates with Cody Drasser in the experimental music duo Caulbearer.
