AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This work stems from my belief that connection is essential.
Not perfect, not always pronounced, but still noticeable.
The figures stand close to one another. They look different, react differently, but remain together. Each one bears his own expression, his own vulnerability, while the collective stance shows how people need each other to stay standing.
The red background intensifies the emotion: warmth, tension, proximity.
The black suits and loose lines keep it raw and honest.
This painting is not about explanation, but about recognition — about being seen without words.
My work often centers on this theme: the connection between people, especially in a world where distance is increasingly the norm.
Delivered without a list, due to high transport costs and to reduce the chance of damage.
Includes a certificate of authenticity, signed by the artist.
The images shown are mood photos intended to illustrate how the artwork can be hung 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.
