Irinada"The Austrian painter, Gustav Klimt, has some erotic artworks."
The sentence is grammatical.
But it seems a bit strange.
It means that Klimt owns this art. If you are referring to the famous artist, note that he is no longer living, so this sentence with its present tense verb must be used in an appropriate context.

My version would go thus:
The Austrian painter Gustav Klimt created some erotic artworks.

The commas are wrong. They mean that there is only one Austrian painter, and his name is Gustav Klimt.
