Posters octopus
Octopus as seen by our artists: the eight arms unfurled as a naturalist plate. Each poster is a personal reading of the animal world, hand-printed on 270 gsm photo paper with a semi-matte finish in our workshop in Fayence.
Choosing your octopus poster
Which octopus poster should you choose?
- Graphic illustration octopus poster: bold flat colours, stylised silhouette, contrasted palette.
- Japanese style octopus poster: ink, waves, traditional print spirit.
- Scientific plate of an octopus: naturalist engraving, Latin captions, sepia tones.
- Watercolour octopus poster: fluid tentacles, ink gradients, soft rendering.
- Octopus in black and white: fine line, sharp contrast, a pared-back graphic register.
- Abstract octopus poster: geometric shapes, vivid colours, a decorative reading.
The filters on the left narrow things down by dominant colour, by style and by mood.
Where should you hang an octopus poster?
- Bathroom: the octopus finds its natural place there, between blue and ceramic.
- Living room: a large graphic format, alone above the sofa or a sideboard.
- Office: an understated scientific plate, next to a piece of light wood furniture.
- Bedroom: a watercolour version in soft tones, never too contrasted.
- Entrance: a black and white Japanese octopus, to set the tone from the threshold.
Japanese octopus poster or scientific plate?
The Japanese style plays on movement, waves and ink: it suits an interior looking for character. The scientific plate relies on precise drawing and captions, in a cabinet-of-curiosities spirit: it suits an office or a library better. The first register makes a statement on a wall, the second tells the story of a collection. A large-format octopus poster carries the first better; a smaller, framed format serves the second better.
Poster, print or picture: what is the difference?
All three words mean the same thing here: a printed image that you hang on the wall. We say poster because we print on photo paper, never on canvas. The same image is also available on a metal plate, in several sizes.
- With frame: black, white or light oak, assembled and ready to hang.
- Without frame: the sheet alone, to slide into the frame you already have.
