Warli
Warli art is an ancient Indian folk art tradition of painting of a Maharashtrian tribe called Warli.and dates back to between 2,00 BC to 3,000 BC. These paintings essentially depict the basic principals of life which are main theme or basis of any tribe. Their major designs include the harvest season,celebration, wedding, rituals and births. The Warli houses also see a pattern in decoration and designs. The Warli art has a special characteristic of representing the humble life of the Warli tribe. The trademark of Warli paintings is the use of geometric designs such as triangles, circles, squares, dots and crooked lines are used to depict human figures, animal figures, houses and crops. Warli art is known for its monochromatic depictions that express the folk life of socio-religious customs, imaginations and beliefs. Predominately white color is used on a red earthen background. Krishna has imaginatively incorporated colour into her Warli on fabrics to suit individual tastes, while largely retaining the monochromatic flavour.
