AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
In this work, Bart Hamelink places three figures against a bright red background. They stand apart, yet feel unmistakably connected. The differences in posture and gaze create a playful tension: together, but each with their own role. The red gives the work energy and makes it immediately present in the space.
The style is recognizable as neo-expressionist: rough lines, imperfect faces, and an almost cartoonish simplicity. It is precisely because of this simplicity that the work remains accessible and light, without losing its character. It is a painting that you don't need to 'understand,' but that naturally evokes something — humor, recognition, or simply a good feeling.
Executed in acrylic paint and spray paint on canvas. The combination of sleek black shapes and the powerful red makes this piece very suitable for modern, industrial, or minimalist interiors.
The artwork is delivered without a stretching 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 according to your personal taste.
A certificate of authenticity is provided with the work.
The displayed images are mood photos and serve to illustrate how the work might look when it is stretched and hanging 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.
