David Lynch once said he was inspired to become a filmmaker when, while painting, he inexplicably heard a gust of wind and saw the artwork move on canvas.
The moment defined his obsession with "seeing paintings move", but also his flair for the bizarre - twisting realities on the small and big screen for almost 40 years. He became the contemporary face of weird, unsettling worlds often hidden within everyday society - from TV series Twin Peaks to films like Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire.
A self-professed daydreamer, Lynch burst onto the scene via the midnight movie circuit with 1977's Eraserhead. The disorientating horror, a comment on male paranoia, set the layered template that ran through his work. Four decades later, he lived to see his style immortalised as an adjective in the Oxford dictionary. Lynchian: “Blurs surreal or sinister elements with the mundane" - an accolade fitting of the four-time Oscar nominee turned lifetime achievement recipient, whose character was as big as his films.
