Prior to her tryst with art, Gouri was a national level
athlete. Asthma turned her destiny to art, where true
to her ilk, Gouri endeavors to excel. Soon after she
lost her father apart from the emotional trauma, young
Gouri was to shoulder financial burden and had to prove
her mettle. Her artistic idiom underwent a radical change.
"Her sprinting ability and pace demanded by pressing
circumstances, invited allusions to her as one 'running
like a horse'. Somewhere within her was born the horse-woman,
a pictorial variation to Picasso's 'Minotaur', the long
standing sexual symbol of the west. They are visually
enriched by her masterly use of the methods of etching
and dry point techniques, as well as superb pen and
ink drawings." -Aruna Bhowmick.
