AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This work is about children. About growing up. About life from youth to old age.

You see several figures side by side. They depict children at different stages of life. From small and vulnerable to stronger and more independent. The work shows that every child begins with the same needs: love, attention, and safety.

On the painting there are words such as “Love our children”, “Children”, “Please” and “Be gentle”. The message is simple: treat children with gentleness and respect. What they experience, they carry with them for the rest of their lives.

The bright colors and playful shapes give the work a positive and accessible energy. At the same time, there is a deeper layer. It’s about responsibility, upbringing, and the influence of the world on young people.

The rough lines and the street-art vibe give it honesty and humanity. It isn’t perfect, just like life. But that’s precisely where the strength lies.

Due to its large size, this is a real eye-catcher in a modern, warm, or creative interior. It brings color and a strong statement to a room.

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.
