Description from the seller
"They Share More" is a subtle yet powerful work by Hamelink, featuring two figures at its center, seemingly different in size and posture but clearly connected. One figure is larger and sturdier, the other smaller and more vulnerable — together, they form a silent dialogue about connectedness, origin, and shared inner layers.
The handwritten text 'They share more than they know' is an essential part of the work. This sentence refers to the invisible similarities between people: shared fears, memories, patterns, and emotions that often only become visible when we truly dare to look. Despite outward differences, we often share more than we realize.
The sober black-and-white composition enhances this message. Due to the absence of bright colors, the focus is entirely on form, expression, and content. The raw lines, large eyes, and simple figures are characteristic of Hamelink's style and give the work a direct, honest appearance without embellishment.
This painting fits perfectly within Contemporary Neo-Expressionism and appeals both emotionally and conceptually. A work that doesn't shout but lingers — revealing new meanings with each viewing.

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.
