I been busy man, busy is good, keeps you out of trouble. But I am a bit behind on certain things. This extended weekend from Thursday to Monday I shot over 600 photos in the Hamptons with many many good people. Thank you to everyone who came out to the photo show as well. On Monday I am going to upload the photographs into the Gallery section. Enjoy, -Emmett.

After exhibiting last August in a well received group show produced by his friend, curator Tripoli Patterson, at Collette’s Antique Barn, in Southampton, Herbie Fletcher returns to the Hamptons this week to exhibit recent works in a solo show entitled, The Rectangle: A Herbie Fletcher Exhibition. Curator Tripoli Patterson’s new Bridgehampton location, Collette Gallery of Bridgehampton, located just behind the old Bull’s Head Inn on Montauk Hwy, is a perfect spot to showcase Mr. Fletcher’s exciting title piece.

Being the creative man that he is, Herbie has a way of seeing art in everything and using what is at hand to create his masterpieces. A Pipeline veteran and a true innovator, Herbie Fletcher, known by all surfers, is like a father to many North Shore surf heroes of today. When asked for their broken boards by the surf legend, local Pipeliners such as three-time world champion, Andy Irons, international superstar Bruce Irons, long board champion Bonga Perkins, and Herbie’s son, Nathan Fletcher, happily complied. Herbie uses them to create dramatic and energized sculptures, which he calls, “Rectangles.”

Also on exhibit, will be some of Mr. Fletcher’s large, resined photographs, printed on canvas. Combining important aspects of his life — documentation and shaping surfboards — Herbie brings forth a beauty of his own making that demonstrates his undeniable desire to create.

The show’s opening reception will be on Saturday, August 9th, from 5 to 8 pm at The Collette Gallery of Bridgehampton, 2546 Montauk Hwy, Bridgehampton, NY, 11932. The show will be on exhibit through August 25th, 2008, and will be open to the public for viewing from 10 am- 6 pm, seven days a week.

*Note: On the night of the opening, Saturday, August 9th, One Ocean, a restaurant located at 1 Ocean Road, in Bridgehampton, will be hosting a prix fixe dinner and drink specials for the artist and friends until eleven pm. All are welcome to come and meet the Herbie.

Hope everyone is healthy and well and having a great summer. I am curating a solo art show entitled, “The Rectangle, A Herbie Fletcher Exhibition”, at my new Gallery in Bridgehampton, The Collette Gallery. Hope you can all join me for the opening reception this Saturday, August 9th, from 5pm to 8pm. There will be music courtesy of the great mastermind Max Barbaria, goody bags from Oakley, refreshments and good people.
See you all here,
