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.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
