Soft-ground etching and Lavis. Atsushi Kaga’s Baby sharks (2026) is a soft-ground etching with lavis that brings together playful drawing, surreal imagery, and scattered narrative fragments within a dreamlike composition. Floating blue shark silhouettes move across a pale textured background populated by anthropomorphic trees, animals, ladders, helicopters, clocks, and handwritten symbols. Rather than forming a linear story, the imagery unfolds like a stream of thoughts or memories, balancing humor with quiet introspection. Kaga’s delicate etched lines and washed blue tones create a sense of spontaneity and lightness, while the soft-ground technique gives the surface a tactile, handmade quality. The work reflects the artist’s interest in imagination, storytelling, and the poetic logic of childhood perception.
