Leo Gallery invites you to explore the creative worlds of two artists with different nationalities, whose works vary in medium but share the same state of being "chill or cool". "Chill" (pronounced HEA in Cantonese slang) means casualness and laziness today, but in the Jin and Tang dynasties, "chill" meant relaxed. Wang Xizhi, the Sage of Calligraphy, was a prime example of being "chill". The "Records of Famous Paintings of the Tang Dynasty" noted that Wei Yan's paintings had "elevated and leisurely thoughts". While the English word "cool" in the context of Cantonese means "stylish". 

 The two artists are respectively Yang Yang from Hangzhou in China and Noah Deledda from Florida in the US. Through their unique artistic languages and insights, they present a visually pleasing Happy Hour that blends rigidity and softness across cultures and regions. This allows everyone to appreciate meticulous artistic creations with a relaxed mindset during the scorching summer, temporarily escaping the harshness of reality and inspiring thoughts on the diversity and boundlessness of art.
