Eva Nüßlein at Kunstpalais: Painting between Punk, Dream, and Direct Gaze

With Eva Nüßlein. Dirt Under the Nails, Kunstpalais Erlangen presents an exhibition that makes painting an immediate artistic experience. The artist, born in Bamberg in 1991, combines large canvases, clear figures, and a visual language full of music, subculture, and theatrical energy into an exhibition of high presence. The exhibition runs from June 20, 2026 to September 27, 2026 at Kunstpalais Erlangen. ([museen-in-bayern.de](https://museen-in-bayern.de/ausstellungen/detail/erlangen-kunstpalais/ausstellung/15770))

Immediate Images, Open Stories

Nüßlein's paintings tell not in a linear fashion but in scenes, gazes, and snapshots. Her works resonate like fragments of a dream just before awakening: intense, direct, enigmatic. Figures with large eyes, sparkling details, and striking contrasts confront the audience without distance. It is precisely this immediacy that shapes the exhibition atmosphere and makes the viewing of the works so alluring.

Punk, Subculture, and a Visual Language with Attitude

Music, punk, and subculture are omnipresent in Nüßlein's art. Her titles and motifs reference song lyrics, emotional states, and symbols like stars, tears, or skulls. Thus, a painting emerges that remains loud, vulnerable, and accessible. Kunstpalais describes the works as radically inviting and emphasizes that the artist comes from the working class and does not want to create threshold art.
