Octopus Garden is a puzzle that likes to keep you guessing. Its custom cut is full of curling connectors, irregular shapes, and ocean-inspired whimsies that wind through the artwork in unexpected ways. Pieces reach around one another, tuck into surprising spaces, and occasionally seem to disappear into the scene altogether.
That playful unpredictability is a perfect match for the Pacific Giant Octopus at the centre of Mark Hobson’s painting. Intelligent, elusive, and famously good at camouflage, these remarkable creatures spend much of their time hidden among the rocks and seaweed below the tide line.
Hobson’s fascination with octopuses began with an encounter on his very first checkout dive near Victoria—an experience that helped inspire his lifelong pursuit of painting the underwater world.
The result is a puzzle that feels as clever and curious as its subject: full of strange shapes, satisfying discoveries, and a few tricks hiding in plain sight.
