AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pink Brotherhood is a powerful and expressive work within Contemporary Neo-Expressionism, featuring four figures standing close together. They seem connected but each retain their own gaze, posture, and inner world. The work is about genuine connection: being present with each other, without fully understanding or possessing one another.
The soft but intense pink background contrasts with the heavy black contours of the figures. This tension between vulnerability and strength is characteristic of Bart Hamelink's work. Pink here does not signify sweetness but openness, humanity, and emotional exposure.
The figures almost appear playful, but carry a layer of seriousness and reflection. They show how people can coexist — as brothers — without words, without explanation, but with a palpable bond.
The work is painted in acrylic on canvas, with powerful lines, rough textures, and visible brushwork. This direct approach enhances the raw, honest character of the painting.

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.
