Eva Nüßlein at the Kunstpalais: Painting as an intensive pictorial story

With Dirt under the nails, the Kunstpalais Erlangen will present an exhibition starting on June 21, 2026, that makes painting an immediate artistic experience. Eva Nüßlein, born in 1991 in Bamberg, develops visual worlds between snapshot, dream logic, and pop cultural imagery. The exhibition combines color-intensive painting, emotional directness, and a strong exhibition atmosphere.

Between Punk, Subculture, and Emotion

Nüßlein's works revolve around music, punk, and subculture; her motifs emerge from memories, fragments, and the energy of everyday life. The visual language appears direct, comic-like, and multi-layered at the same time. Large eyes, glitter stones, stars, tears, shoes, flowers, and flared pants coalesce into a painting that seeks closeness while also being unsettling.

The Kunstpalais as a Place of Contemporary Art

The Kunstpalais sees itself as a museum for international contemporary art in the city of Erlangen and focuses on mediation, discourse, and aesthetic experience. This is precisely where Nüßlein's exhibition unfolds its effect: in the rooms of the Baroque Palais Stutterheim, centrally located at the marketplace, with barrier-free accessible exhibition spaces and a clear mediation program for various target groups.

Art Reflection with an Open Invitation

The images do not tell complicated narratives but condense feelings into concise scenes. The gaze of the figures holds firm, questions back, and makes the viewers participants. Anyone walking through the exhibition encounters a painting that is loud and open, yet poetically and precisely composed.

Mediation, Tours, and Family Offers

The accompanying program includes public tours, curator tours, and workshops for children, teenagers, and families. For school classes, groups, and young visitors, the Kunstpalais offers a wide range of museum educational offerings. Thus, the exhibition is not only viewed but jointly explored, discussed, and creatively continued.
