Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert

Over 20 years, Paris-based artist Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert has mastered the techniques of mouth and freehand glassblowing to create seemingly weightless shapes. The artist’s elegant, sensual pieces—often in iridescent colors that incorporate brass and electricity—combine glass traditions with modern design. His process is highly physical, requiring experienced gestures and tactile knowledge of his material. Wintrebert apprenticed in the workshops of various notable glass artists, including Jaime Guerrero in Los Angeles, Chihuly Studio in Seattle, Lino Tagliapietra in Seattle, and Davide Salvadore in Murano, Italy. He presented a site-specific installation of stacked glass cylinders as part of his “Human Nature” series at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2014 and has also exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo and MusVerre, a museum dedicated to glass art in northern France. In 2019, Wintrebert received the Liliane Bettencourt Prize for the Intelligence of the Hand.
