| David Lynch's artistic roots became deeply ingrained when he joined the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia in 1965; inspired by much of the Bauhaus Movement which had propelled the concept of art to great depths with its industrial and surreal tendencies, he was influenced by contemporary painters such as Jackson Pollock, Edward Hopper, and Francis Bacon amongst others. Lynch began focusing on photography during the release of his 1976 feature film, Eraserhead; whilst he had worked with paintings at the Academy, it was during the late Eighties, and early Nineties, that Lynch's rich and concrete paintings surfaced. I've placed a couple of his works below, in order of sequence. They are linked thumbnails to larger, higher quality enlargements. |
