On this episode, Caren Sullivan Talks to artist Vera Klute in 2021.

Vera Klute is a visual artist based in Co. Kilkenny. She was born in Germany but lives in Ireland since 2001. Her work utilises a range of different media such as sculpture, painting, drawing and video animation.

Themes span from formal portraiture and public sculpture to kinetic installation. She is always interested in exploring new materials and processes and in this way her work has taken many different incarnations over the years.

She has exhibited widely in Ireland and abroad since graduating from IADT in 2006, including solo exhibitions at the RHA, the Butler Gallery, Limerick City Gallery (2-person show), the Molesworth Gallery, QSS Gallery and the LAB.

Her work is represented in many collections, including the National Gallery of Ireland, the Office of Public Works and the Arts Council and she has won numerous awards. These include the Anita Young Award (2022) and the Hanley Energy Sustainability Excellence Award (2021), the Solomon Fine Art Award for sculpture (2020), the Hennessy Portrait Prize at the National Gallery and the Hennessy Craig Scholarship at the RHA (both 2015), the K+M Evans Award (2013) and the EVA Award at Wexford Arts Centre (2009).

She has received several Arts Council Bursary Awards and was elected Associate Member of the RHA in 2018 and is a full member since 2023.
