}

@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    super.paintComponents(g);
    Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
    int k = 10;
    for (int j = 0; j < listOfFiles.length - 1; j++) {
        g2.drawImage(b[j], k, 0, 100, 100, null);
        k = k + 75;
        }
   }

Use JPanel with GridLayout or GridBagLayout to display a list of JLabels.
Set one image for each label and attach a MouseListener to each label. On click of the label create a new JPanel or JLabel with a large image and add it to tab
