AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Three recognizable figures stand close together against a deep purple background. They lean slightly toward each other, as if they belong together without it needing to be spoken. The work exudes calm, but also mutual connection and a subtle tension: everyone is themselves, but no one stands alone.
The purple background gives the work a warm, almost soft layering, while the black suits and expressive eyes provide contrast and humor. As is often the case in Bart Hamelink's work, the scene is simple, yet it lingers — as if you are looking right into a still moment.
Neo-expressionist work with raw lines, minimal shapes, and a strong visual presence. Suitable for both modern and industrial interiors and perfect as an eye-catcher above a sofa or in an open space.

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.
