Benedikte Klüver is a Danish artist based in Berlin. Klüver was awarded a BA in Interaction Design Arts from London College of Communication in 2020, before she continued to Slade School of Fine Art where she was awarded an MFA in Fine Art (painting) in 2022.
Klüver works across painting and tapestry to explore the relationship between colour and material. In her minimal compositions, colours both harmonise and clash as they form a map of pulsations. Her paintings are built from washed layers of oil and geometric shapes through a palette that is at once vibrant and grounding.
Looking to create a language of colour shaped through rhythms and variation in density, her work invites the viewer to slow their eye to enter the felt experience they hold.
