Dutch artist dies before exhibition of his life's work unveiled in Foxton


Notable works included the
The Smiling Windmills at Avalon Park in Lower Hutt, and T

Van den Eijkel was born in The Netherlands in 1940 and studied at The Hague Royal Academy of Art from 1958 to 1963. He emigrated to New Zealand in 1986.
He was known for his use of bright colours, and came up with the concept for a new colour palette by watching the sunset in Wellington and recreating the colours in a book. ....
