Committee

There are very few people who can give themselves a task such as Bart de Baets.

His work is radical and associative, but always recognisable. Whether he makes his own work or as a commission, he approaches every project equally.

Bart de baets biography wikipedia Amsterdam-based designer Bart de Baets has been making great work for ages, and was no exception. There are conference posters for the Goethe Institute, brochures for architecture pavilions and a really nice record sleeve for Melbourne-based band Total Control. Bart manages to combine minimal line work and graphic humour with a vast frame of reference and really great colour-ways. There are also slugs kissing. He takes part in the events he designs for; speaking on the subject of social and economic challenges at the Goethe conference, hanging out in a hammock at the Het Nieuwe Paviljoen museum park, modelling his T-shirts and organising office parties at his studio.

Prominent in the professional field and impactful for the upcoming generation of designers. In the Radical Cut Up campaign we also see layers of humorous, cultural references that attest to quality and personality. Despite this, the message is not lost. The campaign is well thought out and explains exactly what it is about.

Compliments also go to the commissioning body that recognised this added value and had the courage to give him a free hand.

— “The work of Bart de Baets is radical and associative, but always recognisable. Once again, this campaign has a layering of humorous, cultural references that attest to quality and personality.”
