Sunny J

Sunny J is a Chinese visual artist living in Antwerp, Belgium. She received her degrees from the University of Rochester and the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Visuels-La Cambre. Obsessed with the Dissociative Identity Disorder, Sunny uses tempera painting, performance, textile, and installation to express her vision of time and space. She also pays special attention to the interchangeability of art and crafts, focusing on the educative and therapeutic functions of traditional crafts. She is the artist-in-residence in the Old School Residency program in Gorna Lipnitsa, Bulgaria (2015); Shangyuan Art Museum in Beijing, China (2016); AADK Residency in Blanca, Spain (2017); GLO’ART Residency in Lanaken, Belgium (2018), and Swatch Art Peace Hotel in Shanghai, China (2019).
