Description

An in-depth collection of the rich influences and sources of inspiration behind perhaps cinema and TV’s greatest cult creator, David Lynch.

In 1990 David Lynch released ‘Twin Peaks’ and TV has never been quite the same again. Ostensibly a mystery serial drama, the series introduced viewers to a surreal and eccentric world of uncanny and camp strangeness that has gone down in pop culture legend. With his films, the most famous of which are ‘Mulholland Drive’ and ‘Blue Velvet’, but which also include ‘The Elephant Man’, 1984’s ‘Dune’ and the Palme d’Or winning ‘Wild at Heart’, Lynch has created similarly strange, sylised and perplexing worlds, rich in invention.

Across his career Lynch has turned his attention to film, television, art, music, photography, Transcendental Meditation and most recently, nightclub design and weather forecasting, and his sources of influence and inspiration are equally diverse. These range across painting, photography, cinema, literature and beyond, and collectively help unlock his hugely influential work.

The Worlds of Lynch brings these influences together into one visually led collection, bursting with rich and varied imagery.
