姜燕依 Sunny J 自称为一个满口谎话的叙述者。她编写着多重身份混淆的传说，并将它们隐藏在具有桃色意味却又精神残酷的视觉作品之下。
Sunny J 的艺术涵盖绘画，行为，纤维，空间装置和各种手工艺，但是她的最根本的视觉研究始终锁定于对身份 - identity 的定义。她从精神分裂症和多重人格障碍等心理疾病中汲取灵感，描绘出在同一个身体内部的多个自我之间产生的相互操纵，并探索着由于多重身份而演变出的时间和空间混乱。虽然她的艺术思考本身带有文化共通性，但是艺术家最初的动机是高度个人化的。作为一个长期在西方国家生活游历的中国女孩，对于她个人身份的定义是一个自然产生并且不断演变的疑问。
Sunny J 本科毕业于美国罗彻斯特大学工作室艺术专业，硕士在比利时布鲁塞尔毕业于坎布雷国立视觉艺术高等学院绘画专业。她曾在中国，西班牙，保加利亚，比利时等多个艺术中心和美术馆作为驻地艺术家。她的作品被收入于三大洲多个私人和公共收藏中。
Sunny J 工作生活于美国辛辛那提地区和比利时布鲁塞尔。她当前是中国上海斯沃琪和平饭店艺术中心的驻地艺术家。

Sunny J calls herself an erroneous narrator. She invents stories of identity confusions and plurality, and hides them under cruel eroticism.
With a multifaceted practice spreading across painting, performance, textile, installation, and various crafts, her fundamental visual research rests on the definition of identity. She drains inspiration from the Dissociative Identity Disorder, portraying the mutual manipulation that happens between the selves within one body, and exploring the temporal and spatial discrepancies that result from such identity multiplication. Although the inquiry itself is universal, the artist's initial motivation is highly personal. It is a constant interrogation vis-à-vis her own story as a Chinese woman wandering in Western countries.
Sunny J received her BA in Studio Arts from the University of Rochester (USA), and her MFA in Painting from the National Higher School of Visual Arts - "La Cambre" in Brussels, Belgium. She has been an artist in residency in China, Spain, Bulgaria, Belgium. Her works are in multiple private and public collections in three continents.
Sunny J lives and works between Cincinnati and Brussels. She is currently a resident at the Swatch Peace Art Hotel in Shanghai, China.
