From the reality of the concept, the plan, she integrated them into a new alternative structure of open content - a chain of variations. Shapes- characters lose their original meaning and function, creating a dynamic plan of ideal aesthetic value. In the latest series, Vladimíra Sedláková devotes herself to the maximum liberation of shape, a reduction that acquires the necessary depth and dimension thanks to serial combinatorics. The result is surprising a strange hedonistic liking for shapes and colours in space and as if unconsciously poeticism. Rhythmization and repetition create "figures", patterns, that dialogue between the open and the closed, the static and the moving, substance and decoration, colour and non-colour. We hear here the echo of efforts to connect of construction and poetry, efforts dear to the Czech avant-garde. We get to know the more recent efforts to "see and think at the same time" and the minimalist manoeuvre ...to make the form transparent and immaterial. There is a great space for new outbursts. A consistent work with geometric elements with an obvious emphasis on purely artistic relationships in the picture surface allowed the artist's work to be included in the the sphere of constructive art, the elements she derived from technical spheres, even brought her works visually closer to intuitively working classical constructivists, known from the inter together
