Set along the marina at the adults-only all-suite Yacht Club hotel, find inspiration among the nearly 30 pieces of work within its halls. Most pieces feature the second generation of Abstract Expressionism, the next wave after Jackson Pollock and Helen Frankenthaler. Cristin Longo, registrar with Sponder Gallery, says, “Abstract Expressionist artists were influenced by the ideas of psychoanalysis and believed in the importance of tapping into the subconscious mind. They often worked spontaneously, allowing their inner thoughts and emotions to guide their creative process.”

Artwork includes pieces from Stanley Boxer and Dan Christensen, each emphasizing spontaneous, gestural expression, and the exploration of color and material. They often used bold brushwork, dynamic compositions, and non-representational forms. Both used unconventional materials and techniques to create texture and depth. “Gesture and movement were central to the aesthetic of Boxer and Christensen, whose spontaneous movements are trapped in bold swaths of color,” Longo says. “The resulting artworks are an artifact of their choreographed actions.”
