AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
You see a big, strong gorilla behind a laptop. On the screen it says “Tough Guy.” From the outside he looks hard and tough. But the work shows that behind that exterior there is also feeling.
In the background are the words:
OFFLINE EVERYONE – SOUL HEALS
The message is simple: sometimes you have to go offline to find yourself again. Take a break. Feel. Heal.
The little mouse beside the gorilla brings humor and perspective. It shows that gentleness and vulnerability are often stronger than pretending to be tough.
The bright yellow color creates energy and immediately draws attention. The combination of humor, street art, and a deeper message makes this work accessible and recognizable. It’s about balance between hard and soft, between bustle and calm.
Because of its size, this is a real eye-catcher in a modern, industrial, or creative interior. It brings color, character, and a clear message to a 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.
