British painter Nigel Cooke "combines realism with abstraction in canvases that seem to represent scenes of urban decay." Need a visual for the artspeak? Well, it's kind of like that increasingly irritating construction going on at the corner of Live Oak Street and Good-Latimer Expressway...in front of the Latino Cultural Center. Focus: Nigel Cooke will be on display from Sunday through November 26 at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, 3200 Darnell St. General admission is $8 for adults, $4 for seniors and students, and free for children 12 and under. Call 817-738-9215 or visit themodern.org.
