Between Glitter, Punk, and Painting: Eva Nüßlein at Kunstpalais
The Kunstpalais Erlangen presents Eva Nüßlein. Dirt Under the Nails, the first institutional solo exhibition by the painter born in Bamberg in 1991. The exhibition runs from 20.06.2026 to 27.09.2026 and features large-scale paintings that oscillate between dream logic, subculture, and immediate imagery. Nüßlein's works tell stories in snapshots, work with symbols like stars, tears, shows, and skulls, and open up a space for an intense aesthetic experience.

Painting with Attitude and High Immediacy
Eva Nüßlein lives and works in Nuremberg. Her path led her through the study of free painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg, initially with Ralph Fleck, later with Susanne Kühn; in 2018 she became a master's student. Her works appear striking, direct, and yet multifaceted: They combine working-class perspectives, pop culture, music, and punk with a painting that does not create distance but seeks closeness.

Image Spaces Between Sweetness and Dirt
The exhibition showcases an art that does not play glitter and abyss against each other but consciously intertwines them. On canvases, acrylics, pastose painting, and clear signs meet; motifs recur, condense, and form an imagery that functions like an emotional album. The Kunstpalais describes the works as immediately legible and open to personal impressions – an art experience that functions without prior knowledge yet remains relevant to art history.
