AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This powerful diptych consists of two separate, hand-painted canvas panels, each measuring 107 x 117 cm. Together they form one strong visual statement, but individually they also stand on their own.
In both works you can see expressive figures in a raw, direct style. The lines are deliberately rough and unpolished, the colors bold and layered—with strong contrasts between pink, yellow, blue, red, and black. The figures look playful and almost childish, yet they carry something confronting and unique about them.
On both canvases, a black cat also appears, with the letters “CAT” subtly incorporated into the work. The cat serves as a quiet observer — present, independent and mysterious. He adds tension to the composition and visually connects the two works with each other.
The combination of human figures and a cat creates dynamism and balance. Together, the canvases tell a story about looking and being looked at, about being together and yet remaining different.
With the generous size of each panel at 107 x 117 cm, this diptych makes a real impact on the wall. Perfect for a modern, industrial, or eclectic interior where art can have character.
This is not decoration — this is a statement piece.

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.
