First and foremost, David Lynch is famous for films and TV shows like Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks, but new exhibition David Lynch: Between Two Worlds, at Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art from 14th March next year, will look at his work in painting, photography and music too.
Museum Director Chris Saines said the Gallery was working directly with the renowned American artist. “David Lynch first trained as a painter and has maintained a studio practice that reflects a fascination with industry and organic phenomena, subconscious drives and a desire to look beneath the surface, concerns that also permeate his cinema,” said Mr Saines.
“In addition to rarely seen paintings and drawings from the mid 1960s, the exhibition includes lithographs, an important presentation of Lynch’s photographs of factories and nudes, recent large-scale paintings, and a complete retrospective of his film, video and television work.” There will also be exclusive events, conversations and musical performances
The exhibition’s curator, José Da Silva, Senior Curator, Australian Cinémathèque, QAGOMA, said “David Lynch: Between Two Worlds explores three ideas that connect the artist’s practice across art, cinema and music — ‘Man and machine’, ‘The extra-ordinary’, and ‘Psychic aches’ — ideas that open us up to the possibility of finding a deeper reality in our experience of the everyday.”
