The Undecided Octopus

Rambharos Jha
What should I eat?

Stunning water creatures come to life on paper in this new collection of art prints. Rendered in the intricate Mithila style from Bihar in eastern India, these illustrations were originally featured in one of our bestselling titles, Waterlife.

Each print is silkscreen-printed by hand on paper recycled from cotton waste. The silkscreen process is a classic technique of printing where layers of ink are transferred onto the surface of paper through mesh screens. The process requires precision and care, each print contains as many layers as it does colours.

Artist Rambharos Jha grew up on the banks of river Ganga, and developed a fascination for water and water life. Born in the culture-rich district of Darbanga in the Mithila region, he moved to Madhubani as a child when his father started work in a government-supported art and culture project. Since then he has followed his own creative impulses, developing the tradition in his own style. Click here to discover his other Tara Books.

Mithila Art

Colourful, vibrant, yet extremely delicate, Mithila art is primarily done by women living in small rural communities in the State of Bihar. Also known as Madhubani painting, this art form originated from the decorative patterns traced by women on the walls and floors of their homes and community spaces.
