AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This colorful and expressive work features a row of abstract figures, each with its own character and presence. The shapes are deliberately kept simple, with rough lines and a raw, unpolished finish. The large eyes and frontal pose give the work a direct and playful appearance that immediately catches the eye.
The texts on the painting are:
“IS YOUR CIRCUIT DEAD”
THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG
These words give the work an extra charge. They refer to human vulnerability, alienation, and the feeling of not always being able to keep up with the system. The combination of image and text creates a clear message that sticks with you, without becoming heavy.
The fresh use of color — with yellow, green, red and pink — makes the work accessible and lively. At the same time, the rough finish ensures that the painting retains character and does not become decorative. As a result, it is a powerful statement piece that sits well in a modern, industrial, and creative interior.

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.
