Some of the flat objects have a height of over 4 metres — essence, already an architectural scale. Not accidentally the artist himself calls his sculptural reliefs and architectural structures with elements of topography. Vladimir Nasedkin did this project especially for the large gallery space, for a specific architecture. The material for his greatest reliefs was Archskin ceramic plates used in structural design. But each element of complex shape exists in a single copy.

the First impression at the sight of this geometricheskoi script — as if the viewer is written in phrases, quotes or slogans on what-то language. Some visitors attempt to embrace the phrase as a whole, to blur the vision and to try to read it. And do is done in vain. There is no language puzzles and ciphers. All "letters" and "characters" of Vladimir Nasedkina abstract, they add up to the word. This is a theoretical "blank", the notional ancestor of all letters and characters of the world. In geometric symbols can be if you want to feel the origins of Sumerian ideographic writing system, cuneiform script of Urartu, runes, elements of the Ural petroglyphs, and even modern urban graffiti. But again it should be emphasized that the artist did not create what-то intricate text. Traditionally his interests lie in the area of study of the forms and plastic searches in the competitive world of geometric abstraction.

Vladimir Nasedkin (1954) was born in Ural, studied at the Lower Tagil, but for more than twenty years lives and works in Moscow. He honored artist of Russia, the participant of dozens of exhibitions in Russia and abroad. His works are the Pompidou Center in Paris, Vienna, Albertina Museum, the Tretyakov gallery, the Hermitage, Pushkin, Moscow Museum of modern art and other important museums.

The Livre d'artiste was published with a circulation of 50 copies in wooden forms. In 2013 the publishing house TATLIN out the album Vladimir Nasedkin.
