"迤型"
缘起
狮語画廊这次展览将带您走进两位不同国籍的艺术家，作品媒介迥异但同样 "迤或型" 的创作世界。
"迤" (广东俚语音HEA)，今天是随意和倦怠的意思，但在晋唐时期 "迤" = 逸，其中书圣王羲之便是"迤"的表表者，中唐的《唐朝名画录》中记载其韦偃的画 "思高格逸" 。酷是 Cool的音译汉语，在广东话的语境便是 "型"，伴随是 "有型" 或 "哇，好型"。

劲型炫酷的汽水罐
来自佛罗里达的雕塑家诺亚·德莱达，以其酷感十足的汽水罐(铝制易拉罐)作品受到广泛关注。德莱达分享："铝制易拉罐是一个人们非常熟悉的物品，当它以一种新的方式呈现时，它真的能够激发人们的想象力，可以很容易地与其产生共鸣，因为它非常日常。"
德莱达用他的双手，让遗弃金属罐被重新塑造，赋予它艺术的灵魂和价值，成为揉合硬朗的工业美感和当代艺术气息的雕塑。他的作品不仅展示了材料再利用的环保理念，每一个罐子都充满了张力和视觉冲击力，尤其看到他创作过程，不禁感叹他不仅仅创造了新的艺术语言，其作品更有疗愈心灵的能量。

逸逸随性的吸管
而来自杭州的艺术家杨扬，毕业于中国美术学院，天真烂漫的眼眸中，隐隐透出江南人文的睿智。敬业地工作，然后痛快地辞职，只因她要去说走就走的旅行；其画作如同本人一样，轻松地在生活的点滴中捕捉自然的美好，因此才能创作出以吸管和运动场为主题的作品。不按常理的颜色结构结合严谨的构图，同时以其平实的笔触融入了当代艺术的自由与灵动。传递着她内心渴望潇洒的挣扎，诉说着她对世界的独特见解。

写于最后，展览尝试以看似生活场景的陈设来凸显艺术的价值，丰富了大家的视觉体验。策划过程中感谢艺术家的付出，狮語画廊仝仁的支持与细心的安排。在前言的创作中，与AI周旋在高效的开端和艰难的收尾，但整体而言，感激AI的存在。
期待您的到来，愿您在这场 "Chill or Cool" 的另类雅集中，发掘每一个用心的细节。

"Chill or Cool"
The Origin
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.

Stylish and Cool Soda Cans
Sculptor Noah Deledda from Florida has garnered widespread attention with his stylish soda can (aluminum can) sculptures. Deledda shares, “The aluminum can is such a familiar object. When it is presented in a new way, it indeed captures the imagination. People can easily connect with it because of its familiarity.”
Using his hands, Deledda reshapes discarded metal cans, imbuing them with artistic soul and value, turning them into sculptures that combine the industrial aesthetic of rigidity with the vibe of contemporary art. His works not only showcase the environmental concept of material reuse, each can is but full of tension and visual impact. Observing his creative process, one cannot help but marvel that he has not only created a new artistic language but that his works also possess the power to heal the soul.

Casual and Spontaneous Straws
On the other hand, artist Yang Yang from Hangzhou, a graduate of the China Academy of Art, has eyes full of innocence and the wisdom of Jiangnan's culture. She worked diligently, then resigned cheerfully, just to go on spontaneous trips. Her paintings, like herself, capture the beauty of nature in everyday moments, thus creating works themed around straws and sports fields. Combining unconventional color structures with meticulous composition and integrating the freedom and agility of contemporary art with her plain brushstrokes, she conveys her inner struggle for liberality and expresses her unique perspective towards the world.

The exhibition title "Chill or Cool" is intended to catch the eye of the audience, while the content is both stylish and heuristic. The audience will ultimately experience the microcosm of art formed by the collision and fusion of the "chill" and "cool" mindset of the artists. We hope that you can feel the diversity and inclusiveness of art, discover the beauty and miracles in life, and gain endless inspiration and enlightenment.
Finally, the exhibition attempts to highlight the value of art through seemingly everyday settings, enriching the visual experiences of our visitors. We thank the artists for their contributions, the support and arrangements from the Leo Gallery team, and the collaboration with AI in creating this foreword. Though we navigated through an efficient start and a challenging finish, overall, the existence of AI is highly appreciated.
We look forward to your visit and hope you discover every carefully crafted detail in this unique and elegant gathering of "Chill or Cool".
