AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A dog behaving like a human and a human almost reading like a dog — Woef Woef is a playful and humorous work in which Bart Hamelink once again reverses the roles. With loose lines, bold color blocks, and childlike texts, it creates an image that immediately makes you happy, but upon closer inspection reveals more and more details.
The work is executed in acrylic paint and spray paint in Hamelinks' recognizable neo-expressionist style. The combination of quick lines, text fragments, and contrasting colors gives the painting an energetic, almost cartoon-like appearance.
The work is delivered without a stretch frame. This is intentionally chosen to reduce transportation costs and minimize the risk of damage during shipping. The canvas can easily be stretched or framed by the buyer.
A hand-signed certificate of authenticity is included with the work.
The displayed photos are mood images and show what the work might look like when stretched and hung on the wall.

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.
