AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The More Man is a powerful work within Contemporary Neo-Expressionism, in which emotion, rawness, and direct imagery are central. The painting depicts the modern man who constantly must be more, do more, and carry more.
The central figure with multiple arms functions as a visual metaphor for overload, performance pressure, and the endless desire for 'more.' The texts within the work — 'I say I’m done but I want more' and 'Help! I want more' — explicitly express this inner struggle: the tension between exhaustion and desire, between feeling limits and still crossing them.
The expressive, almost childlike figure style contrasts with the heavy themes. This is characteristic of neo-expressionism: seemingly simple forms that reveal deep emotional layers. The raw black-and-white color scheme enhances the urgency and immediacy of the work.
The More Man is a confronting but recognizable image of our time, in which 'enough' rarely seems sufficient.

Seller's Story
Hamelink combines contemporary themes with influences from the past and often works in an energetic, expressive style. He draws inspiration from the tradition of artists such as Herman Brood, who was known for his raw, spontaneous approach, as well as Riek van Iersel, who sought a powerful emotional expression in his work.
Hamelink is best known for his paintings and drawings, in which he pushes the boundaries of traditional painting and tackles themes such as identity, culture and social issues. His work can be characterised by a direct, unpolished approach to the medium, which exudes a certain spontaneity and energy. Like Brood and Van Iersel, Hamelink plays with the tension between personal experience and the broader social context, often with a focus on contemporary society.
His style is often raw, unfiltered and full of expression, using powerful colours and dynamic shapes that enhance the urgency of his themes. Bart Hamelink seems to bridge the gap between traditional expressive movements and contemporary art with his work, while at the same time critically reflecting on modern times.
