AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This expressive work by Bart Hamelink depicts a characterful figure against a bright yellow background. The tall hat, the suit, and the raw lines give the piece a tough, almost cinematic appearance. The texts in the painting refer to freedom, independence, and the self-determination of your own path — direct, without needing an explanation.

The combination of acrylic paint and spray paint creates that typical Hamelink style: powerful, playful, and slightly rebellious. The figure is intentionally rendered roughly, with visible layers and imperfections, giving the work a lively and authentic character. The yellow makes the painting striking and energetic; a real eye-catcher in any space.

This work fits perfectly in a modern, industrial, or eclectic interior and appeals to both art lovers and collectors who appreciate quirky work with character.

The painting is delivered without a stretching frame. This is a deliberate choice to reduce transportation costs and minimize the risk of damage during shipping. The canvas can easily be stretched or framed according to your preference.

The work is delivered with a certificate of authenticity.

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.
