AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This piece comes from the moment where desire turns into damage. This artwork shows the explosive push-and-pull between two people who want each other and reject each other at the same time.
The woman on the right sends mixed messages — “I want you” and “I don’t want you” — hitting like emotional shots and driving the man on the left into frustration and madness.
His response appears in the raw text on the canvas:
“I should have shot her brains out… take my gun.”
Not as a literal threat, but as a visual expression of how overwhelming and destructive mixed signals can feel inside the mind.
The bright colors, rough lines and chaotic energy turn the scene into a snapshot of emotional overload — where desire, anger and confusion collide.
Raw, intense, and unmistakably Hamelink.

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.
