Touch

2010

12 x 26 x 7 ″

Ceramic and oil paint

Touch is a ceramic sculpture that captures the essence of human connection. One of the artist’s few small-scale sculptures, the work depicts two figures in a moment of intimate contact, their forms rendered with a sense of immediacy and emotional depth that is characteristic of Kurtz's approach. The tactility of the medium emphasizes the theme of touch, while the lifelike application of oil paint adds a vivid realism to the piece. This sculpture goes beyond mere physicality, exploring the profound bonds and interactions that define our shared humanity.
