David Lynch: The Art Life shares a glimpse into the creative vision of filmmaker and artist David Lynch. Throughout the documentary, Lynch shares stories from his childhood, art school, and the beginning of his filmmaking career. Images of his paintings and prints along with photos and archive materials are shown as Lynch speaks from his home and studio, linking his anecdotes to examples of his artistic practice. The documentary illuminates an expression of David Lynch that is approachable and relatable, even as his art remains enigmatic.
