Hamelink’s original hand-painted acrylic on canvas Shadow Cat (129 cm high by 210 cm wide), signed, from 2026, in excellent condition, in a modern neo-expressionist/minimalist style with a black cat on a warm beige/white background, sold directly by the artist.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Shadow Cat is an original, hand-painted artwork in which minimalism and mystery meet. With only a few strong lines, a cat emerges that is at once calm, vigilant and full of character. The deep black form contrasts powerfully against the warm off-white background, giving the work a timeless and elegant appearance.
The title Shadow Cat refers to the mysterious presence of a cat that always seems to observe without stepping into the foreground. Inspired by neo-expressionism, graphic minimalism and modern design, this artwork shows that simplicity often has the greatest impact. With its clean composition, Shadow Cat easily fits into both modern and classical interiors.

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.
