AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The fabric is shipped without a stretcher frame, carefully rolled in a sturdy tube (safer and more cost-effective).
"Man and His Shadow Dog" is a powerful and striking work by Hamelink, painted on a bright yellow background in the color Azo Yellow Medium – 269 (pigment PY74). This specific shade of yellow creates a warm, vibrant, and modern appearance that immediately fills the space.
On the canvas, there is a black, dog-like shadow figure and a human figure with expressive lines and a distorted face. The two seem to relate to each other, but in a way that carries both humor and mystery. The simple forms and raw contours enhance the tension between human and animal — a relationship that feels familiar somewhere, yet remains strange and uncomfortable.
The sleek color field in Azo Yellow Medium (Amsterdam Acrylic 269) functions as a powerful decor: bright, optimistic, but also confrontational. The black silhouettes stand out sharply against it, giving the work a minimalist, almost iconic appearance.
This painting seamlessly fits within Contemporary Neo-Expressionism: spontaneous, raw, emotional, and open to interpretation. A true eye-catcher that instantly gives character to any wall.

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.
