Basket with yellow blocks: Sabai Grass Work by Gouri Mohapatra

In Sabai Grass work, artist Gouri skillfully incorporates a rectangular yellow block with a bold black outline into the rim of a basket. This creative choice results in a visually striking contrast. Yellow, known for its bright and cheerful qualities, combines with black, often associated with depth and formality, to create an eye-catching and aesthetically pleasing effect. The presence of a distinct rectangular block with a strong black outline lends the basket a contemporary and modern aesthetic, aligning it with minimalist or urban styles. Artisans use various colors, shapes, and designs to showcase their creativity, and this particular design represents an artistic expression of the artisan’s unique vision and style. The black outline serves to accentuate and define the basket’s rim, adding a visual focal point and emphasizing the overall shape of the basket.
