| Poster #1 |
In this poster, Lukova used figure and ground to reveal two levels of comprehension.
First, the obvious one in black and white. There are two pairs of dance shoes, one feminine and one masculine. The figure and ground principle reveals a heart and an arrow. The artist used hight chroma red and blue to highlight those element.
The design is an axial symmetry (minus the text).

Once again, there are two levels of comprehension in this design. On in black and white (woman with hands and baby) and one in high saturation red. Unlike the poster one, the second level is inside the first one. Lukova used the shapes and colours of the hands and the baby to match with the eye of the red head.
The composition is axial but not vertical

The black still have a large place in this design. The background is a high saturation red and the rest is hight value red.
Aesthetic And Functional Consistency of Lukova
Lukova used in all her artworks high saturation colors, pure hue without (almost every time) shades, tints or tones. The shapes are really simple and even the blank spaces still have meanings. She uses nearly always figure and ground or closure.
I think this is why her work is so powerful: beyond its apparent simplicity, there is actually a very elaborate design and a strong statement.
