曹辉的油画令人印象深刻，他的画面充满着“光感”。表现光影是西方油画的重要特征，从卡拉瓦乔到拉图尔，从伦勃朗到莫奈，光影的表现都使其作品产生了无穷的视觉魅力，也成为用油画表现自然的重要特征。曹辉的绘画充分汲取了西方油画中的光影表现手法，营造出诱人的画面效果。在他的静物画中，水果在窗格的光影投射间呈现着鲜明而强烈的体积和诱人的真实感，而光影的巧妙切割也使画面散发出一种耐人寻味的神秘意境。这些神秘的光影也常出现在他的风景画中，它使一张普通的风景在那束光的引领下，变得意味深长。

　　曹辉的油画语言细腻而含蓄，这得益于敏锐而精微的观察力。他早年毕业于浙江美院美教系，在刻苦学习中练就的扎实的造型能力，使他在人物、风景和静物的主题中都能得到很好的发挥。他的人物造型严谨，刻划入微，出色地利用调性的丰富转折，特别是明暗交界的变化来塑造体积和空间感，营造出了动人的视觉效果。

　　曹辉的油画语言深入而精微，他善在光影和调性中寻求和谐和幽静的意境，他在极写实的方法中也努力追求色彩的微妙变化。他用笔精到，油画肌理张弛有度，这使他的油画具有一种优雅和婉约的品格，也正是他内在性格的真实表露。

Images in the Shadow

　　Cao Hui's oil paintings are impressive, permeated with the perception of light. The application of light and shade is a distinguished feature of Western oil painting, and an important feature in depictingthe nature. It benefits such artists as Caravaggio, LaTour, Rembrandt and Monet, and endows theirworks with endless visual charm. Cao Hui has fully absorbed the essence ofthistechnique in creating an attractive imagery effect. In his still life paintings, the fruits present distinct shapes and seductive realism in the interweaving light and shade through the windows. The ingenious segmentation produced bythe light and shade also attachesan intriguing mysteryto hisimages. These mysterious light and shades frequently visit his landscape paintings.Each frame of ordinary scenery, under the guidance of the light, becomes meaningful.

　　Cao Hui's oil painting style is delicate and subtle, thanks to his keen and subtle observation. He graduated from the Department of Fine Arts of Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts in his early years, and his hard-earned solid styling ability has given him full play in the themes of portraits, landscape and still life. His portraits are rigorously and elaborately constructed. Maneuvering the sifting tonality, especially the changes in the interface of light and shade, he is able to shape the space and create a moving visual effect.

　　Cao Hui's artistic expression is profound and subtle. He seeks harmony and serenity in different light and tones. He also strives to capture subtle changes in color in a highly realistic way. His brushes are accurate, and the texture of his oil painting wasfull of ease and tension. Itimbues his oil paintingswith elegance and grace, which in turn reveals his personality.
