Eva Nüßlein at Kunstpalais Erlangen: Dirt under the Nails as a Strong Art Experience

Eva Nüßlein at Kunstpalais: Painting between Dream, Subculture, and Immediate Impact

With Dirt under the Nails, Kunstpalais Erlangen presents the paintings of Eva Nüßlein, born in 1991 in Bamberg and currently living and working in Nuremberg. The artist combines free painting with a visual language inspired by Punk, Pop, theatricality, and emotional directness. The exhibition runs at Kunstpalais Erlangen from 20.06.2026 to 27.09.2026 and is part of the program for contemporary art in the baroque Palais Stutterheim at the marketplace.

Between Glitter and Grounding

Nüßlein's works draw on themes of stars, tears, shows, and skulls. From these recurring symbols, images emerge that appear as condensed scenes: open enough for personal interpretations, yet striking enough for immediate visual engagement. Her painting emphasizes stark readability, strong contrasts, and an attitude that invites rather than excludes art.

An Exhibition with Attitude

The artist studied Free Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg, became a master student of Susanne Kühn in 2018, and has shown her works early on in Bamberg, Nuremberg, Erlangen, and other art venues. This biographical thread explains the tension between academic painting tradition and a consciously immediate, subculture-charged visual world. This makes the exhibition art historically interesting: it stands for a contemporary figuration that skillfully intertwines emotion, symbol, and pop aesthetics.
