AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This diptych consists of two expressive works that together tell a powerful story about time, change and human connection. The figures are depicted directly and unfiltered, with vivid colors, bold lines and an apparently simple visual language that contrasts with the charged texts in the work.
The text on the left canvas reads:
“Nothing asks permission.
The past doesn’t leave.
The present cuts.
The future waits in silence.”
A confronting sentence that makes the tension between past, present and future palpable.
The right cloth bears the text:
Everything changes
Short, clear and unavoidable — a direct counterpart that rounds out the diptych.
Together, the works form a dialogue between holding on and letting go, pain and movement, memory and change. Powerful individually, yet united as a whole.
Both works fit perfectly on a 100 cm x 120 cm stretcher frame and together they look great as a diptych on the wall.
The interior photos shown are atmospheric images and serve as inspiration for how the works can be hung on the wall.
The artwork is delivered without a stretcher frame. This is to minimize shipping costs and reduce the risk of damage during shipping.
The diptych will be carefully packaged and delivered with a certificate of authenticity.

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.
