Rambharos Jha

Tara Books, 28 pages, R950

Rambharos Jha grew up on the banks of the Ganga, and developed a fascination for water and water life. In this book, featuring silkscreens printed by hand on handmade paper, Jha creates an unusual artist’s journal, adapting the motifs of the Mithila style to express his own vision. He frames his art with playful text that evokes both childhood memory and folk legend.
