AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
"Red Companions" is a powerful and expressive painting by Hamelink, painted on an intense red background in Pyrrolo Red – 315 (pigment PR254). This specific shade of red is known for its depth, brightness, and fiery energy, giving the work tremendous visual impact.
Three figures appear side by side on the canvas: two human forms and an animal silhouette with large, round eyes. Despite their simple design, they each carry their own character and tension. The black outlines and white accents amplify the emotional expression and give the work the typical, raw Hamelink signature.
The composition suggests connection, but also mystery—as if the figures share something unspoken. This layer of ambiguity and humor is precisely what makes the work so appealing within Contemporary Neo-Expressionism: intense, playful, direct, and full of underlying energy.
The combination of deep Pyrrolo Red 315 and the sleek black shapes ensures that this painting completely transforms a room. It's a real eye-catcher that immediately captures and holds attention.
Important information for buyers

The canvas is shipped without a stretcher frame, carefully rolled up in a sturdy tube to prevent damage and save costs.
The work is delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
Easy to re-stretch after receipt at any frame maker.

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.
