Eva Nüßlein brings painting with attitude to the Kunstpalais

With Dirt Under the Nails, the Kunstpalais Erlangen presents an exhibition that makes contemporary painting an immediate artistic experience. Eva Nüßlein, born in 1991 in Bamberg, works with a visual language that oscillates between dream, memory, and pop cultural energy. Her works connect the figurative with theatrical scenes, strong contrasts, and a visual logic that immediately captivates attention.

Painting as scene, symbol, and mood

Nüßlein's paintings do not unfold as quiet viewing surfaces but as condensed image spaces. Music, punk, and subculture shape the atmosphere, as do recurring signs that oscillate between seriousness and irony. Stars, tears, skulls, and expressive body postures open a contemplation of work in which painting becomes a stage. The visual world appears striking, theatrical, and personally intertwined.

Solo exhibition in the heart of the city

The Kunstpalais in the baroque Palais Stutterheim at Erlangen Market Square provides the perfect setting for this exhibition. As a museum for contemporary art, it is closely connected with the municipal collection and a vibrant educational program. Tours, art discussions, workshops, and offerings for various target groups complement the exhibition and deepen the aesthetic experience. For schools, families, and art enthusiasts, a culturally rich environment is created that transcends the mere visit.

Education, mediation, and a focus on the present

The curating at the Kunstpalais emphasizes proximity to current forms of artistic expression. Nüßlein's painting can be read art historically within a contemporary, figurative visual language that intertwines emotion, materiality, and narrative fragmentation. This is precisely where the appeal lies: The works generate tension between surface and depth, between fragments of memory and powerful presence.

Visit with added value

Those who visit the exhibition will not only experience new works by a young artist but also gain a precise insight into painting as a form of cultural self-assertion. Dirt Under the Nails promises strong images, a concentrated exhibition atmosphere, and many connection points for art-interested visitors. A visit to the Kunstpalais is worthwhile right now, as this exhibition does not explain the present but makes it visible.
