About this artwork
The First Touch is the opening work of Ly Tran’s ongoing series “Touch”, which explores human relationships and emotional bonds through moments of physical contact.
This painting captures the earliest and most instinctive connection between a mother and her child — a touch that precedes language, memory, and thought. Through thick, layered oil paint and dynamic, flowing gestures, the forms dissolve and merge, suggesting intimacy, protection, and… unconditional presence rather than literal representation.
The textured surface mirrors the complexity of emotion embedded in a single touch — fragile yet powerful, fleeting yet eternal. For the artist, this first contact is not only a physical gesture, but the origin of trust, love, and human connection.
The First Touch invites the viewer to reconnect with the primal tenderness that shapes all relationships that follow.
