[@pushingsheepsofcliff]

Four hours at the execebition "someone is in my house" wasn't enough for me, tnx for the video, the pictures in the books never show how amazing these artefacts are

im so glad you posted this. i tried to get to it while it was on in Manchester in the summer, but couldn't make it. Thank you.

[@jayherres486]

Thank you James and Kate. First of all, I can't believe some of these galleries keep saying were are closing now, I would think they would stay open longer to let you show all the works. I don't know anything about David Lynch but looking at his works I thought of Howie Mandel, Hazmat Suits and Germaphobes.

Grim + thought-provoking. I appreciate it as an expression of emotional trauma within our culture. Someone needs to say it. There's sadness, anger, nausea here. Relevant work + very appreciated. Thank you James.

I like the street scenes almost as much as the gallery visits. I wonder what movie or show they were shooting on those steps?

[@riverlocqa]

Good to see David's work again...

[@palicsito]

Thanks

[@thirdrockjul2224]

Thank you Kate

Brilliant. There are many great filmmakers who have a painting background, and many great painters who have an interest in film. There are few great filmmakers who are also great painters. David Lynch is one though.

[@cliffdariff74]

any notion of the kind of thicker materials? maybe paint, glue and clay powder??

[@jameskalmroughcut]

I'd hazard a guess that he's using various kinds of resin (alkyd or acrylic) maybe some spray Styrofoam, papier mache , and shellac...?

[@GhostPoop]

@@jameskalmroughcut You can really see how he works with material on his doc, 'The Art Life'

[@dewit7]

Hé, I saw this same show in the Netherlands.. its top

[@jhb61249]

Thanks Jamesie; thanks Kate! Thought provoking, and emotional, yet ........ .?

[@runway12]

creepy ?

[@jhb61249]

So you say, you think he actually did study drawing and paint in at one time?

[@jameskalmroughcut]

@james brewer, that's what they say in the press release...

[@davidmayhew8083]

The glitzy frames seem ironic in Lynch's work and art aggrandizing in Bacon's work.

[@cliffdariff74]

Cant figure the D Salle paintings? Why bother... just a record of sales?.. the imagery and paint is not interesting, not one bit.

[@boogieboxmusic4331]

Ordinary busker

[@MikeWitmerNatureJournal]

Probably Lynch should stick to film. Childrens art is actually interesting. Pretending to make work that looks childlike is foolish. This is just bad art. Just my view of course. If he was not already famous no one would give this stuff a look much less a show. 2nd show of Diao is worthwhile.

[@pjr5913]

he wouldnt be making films without his base in painting

[@jayherres486]

Too often I find bad art is shown as the new "good art"......traditional artist skills seem to be looked down.

[@zeroman614]

Jay Herres what does “traditional” mean 100 years after Picasso?

[@MikeWitmerNatureJournal]

@@jayherres486 What did you think of the second artist's work?

[@jayherres486]

@@zeroman614 I was just writing about the skills not the subject matter. Drawing skills, design skills or painting skills can usually be seen in many works even non-objectives when the artist has those skills. A line can dance...light, dark ,thin, thick, it can be strong, even the way it turns can be wonderful. This is true in figure drawing and those skills can be transferred to many types of works but of course not all.

[@LockedPig]

This works... they're so ugly. It's hard to believe this was done by a man who create Eraserhead or Mulholland drive.
