AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This painting depicts three characteristic figures who together form a silent but meaningful unity. In this composition, connection without words is central. The figures do not look at each other, but clearly belong together. They share the same space, the same background, and the same silence.

The bright orange background plays a crucial role in the work. Orange here represents energy, tension, and emotion — a color that radiates warmth but can also evoke unrest. Against this powerful color, the black-and-white figures stand out sharply, emphasizing the contrast between the inner and outer worlds. It gives the work a direct visual impact and makes it unmistakably present in the space.

The style is characteristic of Contemporary Neo-Expressionism: raw lines, deliberately simplified forms, and a direct visual language that does not aim to explain but to touch. The faces are expressive and slightly disconcerting, inviting the viewer to assign their own meaning to the relationship between the figures.

This work is about being together, without everything needing to be spoken. About proximity, identity, and the feeling of being part of something greater — even when you sometimes feel different or detached from yourself.

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.
