Post Modern Design and the Digital Age

This week I'm focusing on the wonderful work of LUBA LUKOVA! Her bright, graphic designs instantly popped out of Megg's (2016) to me.

Lukova is a Bulgarian born artist living in New York City and uses her graphic design power to initiate social change for good. Her basic design philosophy is "less is more" and to include simple, bold design elements that pop from many backgrounds of bright colors (www.artsatl.org/design-catalyst-change-luba-lukova-moda-designing-justice). 

Peace - Luba Lukova - 2001

Her most famous and beloved piece is "Peace", in which graphic of warfare are made up to create the vision of a dove, which represents peace. Her question was, "do we protect peace by creating endless wares?" Her art is clever, dynamic, and makes you think hard about the message at play.

Lukova's bold work alone truly stands out to me, but the hidden and sometimes not so hidden meanings just add so much more to her work. The following pieces are some of my favorites of hers (https://www.lukova.net/lukova-social-justice):
