Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert was born in Paris in 1980, where he currently lives and works. His poetic journey is influenced by fundamental research: that of seeking the meaning of life, the unalterable core of existence, from which everyone can build and create oneself. This research nourishes the creative work, and, in a profound and constant exchange, the creative work is in turn nourished by the research.
This research animates a journey, which initially relies on an introspective dimension. Wintrebert draws on his memories to create African-inspired pieces with figurative tendencies, so that he may gradually evolve towards a form of externalisation. He then describes his environment through an aesthetic closer to abstraction.
Finally, he finishes by pondering on the origin of his inspiration: the universe, for which he offers an interpretation, particularly in is most recent pieces.
From his childhood spent in Africa, he has retained a predilection for the arts and crafts that are experienced daily, as well as a light and an inner landscape that still nourish his work and his journey.
Aside from ceramics, Wintrebert also developed his manual skills through painting; a metier he never ceased to perfect, especially after his encounter with molten glass.
It was at the age of 18 that he discovered his material, glass, in a glass blowing workshop. Mysterious, dangerous, full of promises, nestled in a melting furnace, a true energetic heart, and a magmatic core. It is a tale of love at first sight, an instant connection with the material, but also with what it encompasses: the origin of the cosmos, of our universe and its energy, an immutable force, vital and transcendent.
Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert is the 2019 laureate of the Liliane Bettencourt Prize for the intelligence of the hand®. Created in 1999, this prestigious prize rewards expertise, creativity and innovation in the crafts, and has become a label of excellence for French crafts whilst promoting their reputation worldwide. Since its inception, this competition for professional craftspeople recognises the talent of singular individuals whose achievements demonstrate “l’intelligence de la main®” (the intelligence of the hand).
Jeremy presented The Beginning: Dark Matter, a mind-blowing work, acknowledged by the members of the jury as « one of the most successful fusions between art and craft, demonstrating once again the natural connection between these two worlds.”- Jury of the Liliane Bettencourt Prize.
