Lada Nakonechna’s carefully crafted graphite pencil drawings construct meticulous and sometimes abstract landscapes that through their production process reflect on the physical context of the social environment each drawing is made in.

At the exhibition of the nominees for the PinchukArtCentre Prize 2013 Nakonechna builds a wall that touches no ceiling. By the act of drawing on it she makes the wall visually disappear. In this work, Nakonechna points the attention of the viewer to the position of the artist as a manipulator of space and a regulator of perception. A photo of the manipulated space hangs inside adding complexity and confusion.
