Nueces Country Record Star
Pandemics and winter storms can’t stop the Del Mar College (DMC) Art and Drama Department from curating the annual National Drawing and Small Sculpture Show. A juried exhibit that attracts entries created by artists from all over the United States and features two- and three-dimensional works, the show marks its 55th year of bringing exceptional artwork to the Coastal Bend.
The juried exhibit features 58 works selected from 612 entries submitted from across the country.
The national show also attracts jurors who are nationally or internationally known artists themselves. This year’s juror is Robbie Barber, Professor of Sculpture with the Art and History Department at Baylor University, who has exhibited his own work across the country and even in Japan.

From a very young age, Clement Ooi has loved to doodle complicated designs and often keeps himself occupied for hours, just doodling. When he was five, his parents started looking for an art teacher for him. The teacher, who was impressed by the designs that he drew, said he could develop further.
Over the years, Clement has learnt and improved, and has developed into a “pretty good artist”, says his father Ooi Bee Lam.
“Most of Clement’s paintings are done in acrylic on canvas. His forte is in drawing flowers and he’s able to draw them live, ” adds his mother, Annie Kam.

Given my general preference for art created before World War II, it would seem trundling along to view the new exhibition, “Soutine/de Kooning: Conversations in Paint” which opened last weekend at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia wouldn’t be on the cards. Yet this intriguing show not only shines a deserving spotlight on a truly intense, talented artist but also reveals a great deal about the unexpected art-historical influences on an artist whose work I’ve always disliked. Who says you can’t teach a middle-aged art critic new tricks?
Expressionist painter Chaïm Soutine (1893–1943) and Abstract Expressionist painter Willem de Kooning (1904-1997), although only a decade apart in age, inhabited very different artistic worlds. Both left the lands of their birth Russia and The Netherlands, respectively to make their fortunes elsewhere.
