AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This expressive work by Bart Hamelink depicts four figures placed very close to each other. They form a whole: not individual entities, but a silent, sincere connection. The figures do not explicitly look at each other, but share the same space, posture, and energy. It is precisely in this that the strength of the work lies — true connection often arises without words or eye contact.
The style is neo-expressionist, recognizable by the rough lines, layered paint application, and the direct, unpolished visual language. Hamelink works intuitively and leaves room for imperfection, making the work feel human and honest. The figures seem vulnerable but not lost; they are together, and that is enough.
The background is built up with Deep Gold (Amsterdam Acrylics, pigment: coated mica). This warm, matte gold tone gives the work a subtle glow and symbolizes value, calmness, and connection. The gold does not serve as decoration but as a supporting layer for the story.
The work has been executed with high-quality acrylic paint from Amsterdam, applied in multiple layers. The visible brushstrokes, overpainting, and texture contribute to the raw and direct character of the piece.
Delivery & presentation

About the artist
Bart Hamelink is a Dutch artist who works from emotion, experience, and humanity.

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.
