蒋琼耳作为少数在国际上享有盛誉的中国当代艺术家和设计师之一,以其独特的艺术才华脱颖而出。出身于艺术家世家的她,从小便沉浸在东方文化的丰富中。在欧洲的学习和创造性经验使她开阔了全球视野,拥有了非凡的开放心态。她的双文化背景赋予了她独特的创造自由,使她能够在尊重传统和包容性之间找到平衡。她轻松地在东西方世界之间导航,将东西方文化在艺术的共生中融合,超越了文化界限。她的作品反映了这种二元性,将古老与新颖、本土与国际在引人注目的视觉和谐中统一起来。
她的祖父蒋玄怡是首批赴海外学习的中国艺术家先锋之一,也是最早将西方油画引入中国的人之一。她的父亲邢同和是上海博物馆建设背后的著名建筑师。在一个充满传统文化氛围的环境中成长的蒋琼耳,从小便热爱艺术。两岁半时,她已经能够拿起画笔,六岁开始在诸如程十发这样的大师指导下学习中国画和韩天衡指导下学习书法。她的学术之旅最终将她带到了同济大学,她在那里专攻艺术和设计,正式开始了她的艺术创作之路。
毕业后,她选择继续在法国国家装饰艺术学院深造,专攻家具和室内装饰。这一决定标志着她艺术生涯的一个决定性步骤,帮助她巩固了自己的艺术身份并扩展了她的创作视野。
从法国回来后,蒋琼耳通过多样化的经验丰富了她的艺术旅程,让她的才华在双文化的视角中得以充分展现。无论是家具、珠宝、中国画、油画还是图像,她总能找到最合适的方式来表达她的创意和灵感。在她的作品集中,她巧妙地融合了中国和西方的艺术技巧,完美地将不同元素结合在一起。但最重要的是,她的作品灵魂反映了通过决定性现代视角解读的中国文化丰富历史。她的工作是她超越文化界限同时忠实于自己根源的能力的有力证明。

2009年,蒋琼耳与爱马仕共同创立了致力于当代生活艺术的品牌“上下”,并担任该品牌的艺术总监和首席执行官。在接下来的十年里,她充满激情地致力于在国际舞台上推广中国手工艺、传统文化和当代设计。通过融合东西方文化的精粹,她为21世纪创造了新的当代生活风格美学。她的艺术和设计作品已被世界上一些最著名的博物馆永久收藏,如英国博物馆、V&A博物馆、吉美博物馆和装饰艺术博物馆等。这些成就证明了她独特的视角和在当代艺术与设计领域的重大影响。
作为一名艺术家,蒋琼耳以她深深植根于中国文化的同时,探索各种领域以表达她的创造力,并向日益增长的外部世界之美敞开心扉而自豪。她的作品在瑞士、美国、法国及其他多个国家的著名博物馆中占有一席之地,证明了其国际认可度。她还参与了世界范围内的许多著名展览,并获得了各种奖项和荣誉。这些成就不仅展示了她的艺术才能,也展示了她跨越文化界限同时忠实于自己中国文化遗产的能力。
蒋琼耳获得了许多国际荣誉,其中包括被《福布斯》杂志评为全球最有影响力的25位中国人之一。为表彰她对中法文化交流作出的杰出贡献,法国政府授予她法兰西共和国艺术与文学骑士勋章。她还被选为“50年50人”之一,并获得了法兰西共和国国家功勋骑士勋章。此外,为了表彰她促进中意文化融合的努力,意大利政府授予蒋琼耳“意大利团结之星勋章”。
如今,蒋琼耳致力于预见时代,从中国乃至全球的丰富历史和文化中汲取灵感。她与当下进行对话,织接过去与未来、遗产与技术之间的联系。她在中国和世界之间建立联系,开展记忆与想象之间的对话。通过她的工作,她希望创造将被镌刻于历史中的新神话,从而展示她关于传统与现代交互作用的独特视角。
