When Glances Become Images: PalaisMinis in the Exhibition by Eva Nüßlein

At the Kunstpalais Erlangen, the series PalaisMinis opens a direct, child-friendly access to the exhibition Filth Under the Nails by Eva Nüßlein. On September 19, 2026, at 10:00 AM, faces, eyes, and emotions take center stage: large-format paintings, strong contrasts, and a comic-like style make the artwork observation a lively art experience.

Faces That Fill the Space

The exhibition presents figures that directly return the gaze of the visitors. Large, bright eyes, colorful hair, sparkling accents, and tear-streaked cheeks condense into a visual language that oscillates between pop culture, fairy tales, and self-reflection. It is precisely this mixture that gives the exhibition its special atmosphere: immediate, intensely colorful, and full of psychological tension.

From Observing to Creating

PalaisMinis starts precisely where the aesthetic experience becomes particularly sustainable: in doing it oneself. After the tour, children create their own portrait in the studio with bright colors, paper, and glitter stones. The format connects cultural education, creative practice, and playful image analysis. Observation transforms into creation, reception into production.

Eva Nüßlein Between Painting, Subculture, and Contemporary Art

Eva Nüßlein, born in 1991 in Bamberg, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg and is closely connected to the local subculture. Her works revolve around adolescence, fairy tales, pop culture, and romantic imagery, while remaining powerfully contemporary. The artist develops a painting that shifts familiar role models and shapes figures with strong presence. This makes her works particularly accessible to families and young art discoverers, while also being art historically intriguing.

The Kunstpalais as a Venue for Contemporary Art

The Kunstpalais in Palais Stutterheim is one of the prominent venues for contemporary art in Erlangen. The spaces in the baroque building at the marketplace combine historical architecture with contemporary curation. Regularly, formats are created here for children and young people that not only explain art but also make it experienceable. The PalaisMinis offer is a good example of how museum education and exhibition experience intertwine.

Conclusion: A Creative Morning for Little Art Lovers

PalaisMinis – Who is looking there? promises a concentrated, vibrant, and inspiring encounter with the painting of Eva Nüßlein. Those looking for a lively access to contemporary art with children will find a format here that sparks curiosity, unleashes imagination, and transforms the museum visit into a true art experience. A visit is definitely worth it live.
