Even if Dan Perjovschi\u2019s doodle-like, politically charged wall drawings seemed a little out of place in MoMA\u2019s pristine atrium last year, the incongruity created a certain frisson. His first New York solo show is just as arresting, despite being relegated to a much smaller space. Using white chalk on gray walls, the artist turns the gallery into a giant blackboard on which he has scrawled lively if uneven critiques on issues ranging from the environment to Iraq.<\/p>\n

Perjovschi\u2019s nervous line, and his tendency to overlap bold and faint images by erasing as he goes along, give his work an energetic, experimental feel.

A sun labeled rich on one side and poor on the other emanates more rays on the \u201cpoor\u201d side\u2014a concise commentary on the inequity of global warming\u2019s impact. The clarity, punch and provocation of such pieces suggests that they\u2019d be just as at home outside as in a gallery\u2014which would be just as well, given Chelsea\u2019s recent profusion of mindless street art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
