‎The second instalment of the Lynchian saga devoted to the photographic exploration of the female body Digital Nudes brings together a corpus of previously unpublished digital images by David Lynch. It follows the aesthetics of Nudes' analogue photographs, while experimenting with the possibilities offered by digital technology. Kaleidoscopic visions of legs, arms or undefined curves, chiaroscuro portraits, photographs of varnished nails and lacquered mouths ... With 150 images, many of them published for the first time, these erotically charged photographs are an ode to femininity and attest to David Lynch's fascination with the infinite variety of the human body while also echoing his cinematographic work About the Author Filmmaker, photographer, painter, and designer, David Lynch (born in 1946) creates polymorphic and dreamlike work. Through the multiplicity of his practices, he invents a mysterious and disturbing, strange and poetic universe. Trained at the Fine Arts School in Philadelphia, he has always devoted a large part of his creative activity to the plastic arts, experimenting with all forms of creation. The Air is on Fire, his solo exhibition presented at the Fondation Cartier in 2007, astonished audiences by unveiling for the first time a vast body of work by the artist, who had previously been known mainly as a film director and author of such cult films as Blue Velvet (1986), Lost Highway (1997) and Mulholland Drive (2001) and the Twin Peaks series (1990-91; 2017). In 2021 David Lynch will start working on a new project for Netflix.‎
