Description from the seller
This original artwork by Bart Hamelink, titled Feel Too Much, is a powerful and emotionally charged painting about sensitivity, vulnerability, and the intensity of human emotions.
At the center of the composition is a large, expressive figure with a prominent red heart on his chest. His large eyes, uncomfortable smile, and dark silhouette give him a vulnerable, almost lost appearance. Around him stand smaller figures, also adorned with small hearts, who together tell a special and personal story.
The words “Feel Too Much” at the top of the painting form the core of the work. They refer to people who experience everything intensely, who are deeply touched by events, and sometimes struggle to give their feelings a place.
The large red heart symbolizes love, empathy, and emotional openness. At the same time, the painting shows how vulnerable someone can be when feelings are constantly at the forefront. The smaller figures can be seen as a reflection of the people around us, or of the different facets of ourselves.
The soft pink background provides a striking contrast to the rough black brushstrokes and the bold red accents. The consciously imperfect figures, spontaneous lines, and almost childish drawing style give the work the recognizable, expressive look of Hamelink.
Feel Too Much is a painting about the strength and vulnerability of sensitivity. It reminds us that feeling a lot can be difficult, but at the same time something valuable and human.
The painting is created with acrylic paint on canvas and is a unique, original artwork, not a reproduction or print. The work is signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Note: The interior photos are purely mood images and show how the artwork can come into its own in a modern interior. Colors may differ slightly from the original due to lighting and photography.
Because of its size, the painting will be carefully rolled and securely packed in a sturdy, square shipping tube so it remains well protected during international transport.
The artwork is delivered without the depicted frame and without the wooden strainers (stretcher) frame.
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.
