Original acrylic painting on canvas by Bart Hamelink, titled Black Dog (2026), a hand-signed neo-expressionist work in beige and black, measuring 146 cm by 215 cm, weighing 325 g, depicting pop culture, delivered without a frame, with certificate of authenticity and sold directly by the artist.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This work presents a powerful, almost iconic black figure that evokes a dog or monstrous beast. The form is deliberately simple and graphic, with sharp teeth and an almost humorous threat. It is precisely because of that simplicity that the image gains a lot of character and presence.

The black form stands out strongly against the quiet, light background, making the work immediately noticeable on the wall. It balances between playful and raw, and leaves room for personal interpretation: is it dangerous, protective, funny, or vulnerable? That openness makes the work strong and timeless.

The painting is rendered in a neo-expressionist style with acrylic paint and spray paint. The visible layers and rough finish give the work energy and authenticity. It fits perfectly in modern, minimalist, and industrial interiors.

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.
