He is best known for films such as" Eraserhead"( 1977)," Blue Velvet"( 1986) and" Mulholland Drive"( 2001), often regarded by critics as among the best films of their respective decades, and for his successful 1990 – 91 television series" Twin Peaks", which led to him being labeled" the first popular Surrealist" by noted film critic Pauline Kael.

He has been described by" The Guardian" as" the most important director of this era", while All Movie called him" the Renaissance man of modern American filmmaking".
Born to a middle- class family in Missoula, Montana, Lynch spent his childhood traveling around the United States before he studied painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, where he first made the transition to producing short films.
He moved to Los Angeles, where he produced his first motion picture, the surrealist horror film" Eraserhead"( 1977).
After" Eraserhead" became a success on the midnight movie circuit, Lynch was employed to direct the biographical film" The Elephant Man"( 1980), from which he gained mainstream success.
He was then employed by the De Laurentiis Entertainment Group and proceeded to make two films: the science- fiction epic" Dune"( 1984), which proved to be a critical and commercial failure, and then a neo- noir mystery film" Blue Velvet"( 1986), which stirred controversy over its violence but later grew in critical reputation.
Next,
Lynch created his own television series with Mark Frost, the popular murder mystery entitled" Twin Peaks"( 1990 – 1991).
He also created a cinematic prequel,( 1992), a road film" Wild at Heart"( 1990) and a family film" The Straight Story"( 1999) in the same period.
Turning further towards surrealist filmmaking, three of his subsequent films operated on dream logic non-linear narrative structures:" Lost Highway"( 1997)," Mulholland Drive"( 2001), and" Inland Empire"( 2006).
Meanwhile, Lynch embraced the Internet as a medium, producing several web- based shows, such as the animated" DumbLand"( 2002) and the surreal sitcom" Rabbits"( 2002).
Lynch and Frost reunited for a third season of" Twin Peaks", airing in on Showtime in 2017.
Lynch co-wrote and directed every episode, as well as reprising his role as Gordon Cole.
Lynch's other artistic endeavours include: his work as a musician, encompassing three studio albums—" Blue BOB"( 2001)," Crazy Clown Time"( 2011) and" The Big Dream"( 2013) —as well as music and sound design for a variety of his films; painting and photography; writing three books —" Images"( 1994)," Catching the Big Fish"( 2006), and" Room to Dream"( 2018); and directing several music videos and advertisements, including the Dior promotional film" Lady Blue Shanghai"( 2006).
An avid practitioner of Transcendental Meditation( TM), Lynch founded the David Lynch Foundation in 2005, which sought to fund the teaching of TM in schools and has since widened its scope to other at-risk populations, including the homeless, veterans and refugees.
