Eva Nüßlein at Kunstpalais: Visual Worlds between Punk, Poetry, and Pop
With Bell-bottoms, Ladybugs, and Shooting Stars, Kunstpalais Erlangen focuses on the paintings of Eva Nüßlein in an exhibition that connects immediate visual language and emotional power. The works of the artist, born in 1991 in Bamberg, tell stories in snapshots about music, subculture, dreams, and insecurity, while opening up a space for intensive engagement with the artwork. The exhibition runs at Kunstpalais in the baroque Palais Stutterheim at Marktplatz 1 in Erlangen from 20.06. to 27.09.2026.

Painting as an Emotional Resonance Space
Nüßlein's paintings work with clear signs, recurring symbols, and a deliberately accessible visual language. Stars, tears, concerts, and skulls create accents reminiscent of graphic painting, music aesthetics, and the visual energy of punk. Kunstpalais describes her art as radically open, free from exclusion, and close to the audience's experience. This is exactly where the unique strength of this art experience lies: It requires no prior knowledge but invites aesthetic experience.

Between Subculture and Art History
The exhibition connects contemporary painting with cultural references shaped by subculture and music. According to Kunstpalais, the world of punk and lyrics shapes Nüßlein's work, which reads like an emotional album. Additionally, there is the authority of an institution that accompanies contemporary art with educational programs, tours, and workshops. This creates a curation that not only displays images but also promotes cultural education and understanding of the works.
