Bart Hamelink (1976), 'Taming the tide', oil on canvas, with certificate, signed and dated verso, 2025 -131 x 200 cm- Description by Hamelink: This work depicts a large blue beast standing on the green earth. The green background symbolizes nature: quiet and powerful. The blue beast represents humanity: large, loud and sometimes threatening. Inside the beast’s body is a small white figure, screaming. It stands for our inner world: the child within us or the voice we often ignore. A cry for attention, peace or change. The painting is playful in form but tells a clear story about who we are, how we interact with the earth and what we may have forgotten. CAN NOT BE SHIPPED
