Opening Saturday evening at Double Break is Works by Ernest Silva. The show will feature various paintings and drawings on canvas and unframed and framed works on paper and veneer produced by the San Diego-based artist over the past seven years. Be sure to stop by for the opening or before the show closes on November 3rd.

This past weekend, Balboa Park's Activity Center hosted Art San Diego, San Diego's annual art fair. San Diego is not a bad place to be in the beginning of September, not only did the region offer pleasant weather (which at times got a bit hot inside the Activity Center), but also some great showings by some of the area's finest art exhibitors like Quint Contemporary Art and Double Break, among a few others.

This Friday evening, July 27, Double Break in San Diego will be opening its new group show curated by Ryan Travis Christian. The show, titled Where My Cones At?, is definitely worth a visit, featuring Juxtapoz's cover artists Eric Yahnker and Andrew Schoultz, as well as other artists featured in the magazine like Jason Jagel. Double Break's walls will be jam-packed with artwork from many esteemed artists whose work will also be available in Double Break's online store.

To celebrate their one-year anniversary of opening San Diego's Double Break, artist co-owners Matt Coors and Louis Schmidt will be showing an exhibition of their own work titled Good Grief. The exhibition will have new pattern-laden drawings, prints, and publications from the two UCSD MFA alums. . .

Opening this Friday evening, May 18th, between 6 and 10 pm is Travis Millard and Michael Krueger's two person show titled Digging a Hole, Looking for Something. The show will feature new drawings, prints, ceramics as well as exclusive t-shirts and zines from both of the artists (only available at Double Break for this exhibition).

Currently at Double Break in San Diego is a solo show by San Diego-based artist and Oakland-native Sadie Barnette. The show is unique for Double Break as it consumes the entire store and gallery, spanning the entire space, a format that did not apply to previous shows, creating an immersive environment full of Barnette's impeccable graphite renderings, photographs, and objects. The show will be on view until Saturday, May 12th.

Opening Friday, February 17th is a two-person show at San Diego's Double Break Gallery with Mickael Broth and Ryan De La Hoz. During a recent studio visit with Ryan De La Hoz, we mentioned this show coming up. Together the two artists bring together a collection of paintings, drawings, and collages that provide a graphic and illustrative stylistic conversation.

For the closing reception of Double Break's recent group show curated by Jay Howell (on December 11, 2011, 4-7pm), Chris Johanson's band Sun Foot will be providing some pleasant tunes alongside Darin Klein & Friends' release party for their Box of Books series.

Recently opened at Double Break is Horror Days, a series of drawings and prints by James Quigley, aka Gunsho. The show runs until November 6th, perfect for the month of Halloween. These cardboard pieces in particular are our favorites from the exhibition.

Earlier this month, Death Ships Don't Surf, a solo show by Gretchen Mercedes opened up at Double Break, the new gallery and art book store in San Diego. As we mentioned before, the store looks great (very much like San Diego's own Parklife), and the show is an interesting take on Mercedes' film work.
