新华社纽约12月19日电 中国艺术家赵晓慧的个人油画展周三在纽约市法拉盛市政厅画廊开幕，展出其数十年来的作品，这些作品着重展现对平凡生活的静观、写实风格以及普通人的内心世界。

在开幕式上，格莱美奖得主、动画艺术家乔希·塞利格（Josh Selig）指出，赵晓慧的画作与现代生活视觉信息过载形成了鲜明对比，如今的生活充斥着屏幕和人工智能。

“她的作品很安静。它让我们驻足。它让我们真正地去观察。”这位中国桥公司的创始人兼总裁塞利格说道，他强调了赵晓慧对来自中国福建省惠安的女性及其坚韧、尊严和日常劳作的长期描绘。

中国著名艺术理论家、中国美术家协会《美术》杂志原主编王仲先生为此次展览亲笔题词祝贺。

81 岁的王仲先生在致辞中称赞赵晓慧毕生致力于现实主义、精湛技艺和精神深度。他写道，真正的艺术超越政治、种族和时间，最后以“花香依旧”（只有香如故）作结，以此比喻艺术的正直和延续性。

赵晓慧出生于中国东北的黑龙江省，1986 年考入鲁迅美术学院，学习中国画。后来她赴美深造油画，并于 1999 年获得纽约艺术学院的美术硕士学位。四十多年来，她的作品在中国和美国都有展出。

该展览将持续至 12 月 22 日。

​Chinese artist opens solo oil painting show in New York

NEW YORK, Dec. 19 (Xinhua) -- A solo oil painting exhibition by Chinese artist Zhao Xiaohui opened Wednesday at the Flushing City Town Hall Gallery in New York City, featuring decades of work that highlights quiet observation, realism and the inner life of ordinary people.

At the opening, Josh Selig, a Emmy-winning animation producer, noted that Zhao's paintings offer a striking contrast to the visual overload of modern life, dominated by screens and artificial intelligence.

"Her work is quiet. It makes us pause. It allows us to truly see," said Selig, founder and president of China Bridge Content, emphasizing Zhao's long-term depictions of Hui'an women from Fujian Province, China, and their resilience, dignity and everyday labor.

Renowned Chinese art theorist Wang Zhong, former editor-in-chief of the Art Magazine at the China Artists Association, sent handwritten congratulatory remarks to the exhibition.

In his message, Wang, 81, commended Zhao's lifelong commitment to realism, craftsmanship and spiritual depth. He wrote that true art transcends politics, race and time, concluding with the phrase, "the flower scent remains unchanged," a metaphor for artistic integrity and continuity.

Born in northeastern China's Heilongjiang Province, Zhao was admitted in 1986 to the Luxun Academy of Fine Arts, where she studied traditional Chinese painting. She later pursued oil painting in the United States and earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from the New York Academy of Art in 1999. Her work has been exhibited in both China and the United States for more than four decades.

The exhibition runs through Dec. 22. ■
