Gheorghe Labin (b. 1907, Pufești, Galați - d. 1977) was a Romanian painter and decorator, professor at the Institute of Fine Arts "Nicolae Grigorescu" in Iași. He attended the Academy of Fine Arts with the painters Camil Ressu and Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck.
From the beginning he showed inclinations towards decorative arts and mural painting. He made his debut in 1929 at the Official Salon, which he attended regularly.
In the Palace of Arts, a large fresco entitled "the great fresco of the war" was begun by Alexandru Ciucurencu, on which he collaborated with Dem painters. Iordache and Gheorghe Vânătoru, on the sketches of Gheorghe Labin.
The earthquake of 1940 seriously damaged the building, which was demolished in 1943, thus disappearing the fresco. After the Second World War, through his chosen themes, Gheorghe Labin became the painter of wartime misery.
Between April 11-25, 1948, the "FLACE" Exhibition took place, organized at the Dalles hall by M. H. Maxy, Ligia Macovei, Gheorghe Labin, Boris Caragea and Alexandru Ciucurencu - artists of a certain leftist orientation - foreshadowing the new orientation of art in the regime communist.
From 1950 he was a teacher at the "Nicolae Grigorescu" Institute of Fine Arts.
On December 25, 1950, by Decree 226/1950, the Union of Fine Arts was dissolved and its entire patrimony passed to the Union of Plastic Artists of the P.R.R., which was recognized as a legal entity of public utility.
Boris Caragea was elected as president and Gheorghe Labin as general secretary (1968-1978).
He produced well-documented historical painting and numerous decorative panels and murals.
