Best known as a film director, David Lynch is also a prolific and acclaimed photographer and painter.  In the catalogue for a recent exhibition in Tokyo, Lynch wrote,  ”"When it comes to painting, it´s the darker things I find really beautiful. All my paintings are organic, violent comedies. They have to be violently done, and primitive and crude, and to achieve that I try to let nature paint more than I paint and stay out of the way as much as I can. In fact, I don´t paint with a brush too much any more – I prefer to use my fingers. I´d bite them if I could.”
