About this work

This etching shows a shadowy figure standing alone. The lines are rough but clear, like quick pencil sketches. The background bleeds into the dark, making the shape pop. It’s a nod to Alberto Giacometti, the Swiss sculptor known for tall, thin figures. Kochashian turns his style into a print, using ink to mimic his scratchy, fragile look. The aquatint gives it texture—like sand mixed into the ink. Look closely at the way the light hits the figure’s edges.
