Fred Baier has redefined contemporary furniture through a combination of mercurial intelligence, a playful sense of maths (‘looks a bit like Einstein’), engineering (‘he wishes he had his own Cecil Balmond’) and colour (‘not quite as good as Howard Hodgkin’), and the will to take furniture in directions that hardly seem possible.

This is the second in a series of three exhibitions planned and curated in partnership between Ruthin Craft Centre and the Crafts Study Centre, Farnham.

..

Mae Fred Baier wedi ailddiffinio dodrefn cyfoes drwy gyfuniad o ddeallusrwydd bywiog, synnwyr chwareus o fathemateg (‘yn edrych ’chydig fel Einstein’), peirianneg (‘mae’n chwennych ei Cecil Balmond ei hun’) a lliw (‘ddim cweit cystal â Howard Hodgkin’), â’r ewyllus i fynd â dodrefn i gyfeiriadau sydd brin yn ymddangos yn bosib.

Dyma’r ail mewn cyfres o dair arddangosfa gynlluniwyd a churadwyd mewn partneriaeth rhwng Canolfan Grefft Rhuthun â’r Ganolfan Astudio Crefftau, Farnham.
