Judy Cooke goes for and achieves “amateur chic” in her oil, pencil and wax works on wood panel. Her sloppy grids and awkward forms display a cloying self-awareness of the sort that emerges dually from untrained street artists and Master of Fine Arts degree holders. The best piece in the show is Corner, a suavely gorgeous birch panel adorned with diagonal and vertical lines that recall constructivist masters. It should also be noted that any good-quality birch panel without anything on it at all, is quite handsome in its own right.Through March 2.
