Willem Labeij
Willem Labeij (3 November 1943 - 14 November 2011), was a Dutch expressionist abstract painter. Willem Labeij influenced abstract expressionism in Iceland where he lived for a number of years, especially in the rural countryside and smaller towns where he stayed from 1990-1994. Willem is known for a very personal, strong and poetic style in his abstract painting. As a highly educated Dutch artist living in rural communities in Iceland, his presence was noted and felt by the locals and the art community in Iceland. Willem held several exhibitions in Iceland that were noted by the press and the artist communities. Local municipalities supported his work by buying paintings from him.
==Early life and education==
Labeij was born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. From an early age he was profoundly interested in art and painting, especially abstract art. As a young boy, Willem wanted to be an artist and a painter but his parents did not agree. They put pressure on him to enter a maritime school in Rotterdam in 1963 and he graduated from there. For five years he sailed the oceans as a ship’s mate on commercial cargo ships that sailed from the Netherlands. At the end of this period, in 1968, Willem felt that a life as an artist was what he most wanted, so he left the sea. During the time he was a sailor, Willem had his art gear with him and painted in his time off duty.〔Egill H.

After he gave up his career in the merchant marine, Willem enrolled in the Design Academy in Eindhoven. He graduated from there, specializing in advertisement design. At this point, he planned to work as a designer in the future and use his free time for artistic painting. He worked as a designer for a while but then enrolled in the Willem De Kooning Academie in Rotterdam where he studied drawing and painting from 1968 to 1969. Later he went to the Jan Van Eyck Academy in Maastricht, where he studied oil painting, watercolors and graphic art from 1972 to 1975. Willem lived just outside the city of Maastricht for seventeen years. For eight months he lived in Paris.〔
