Before he was a filmmaker, David Lynch was a painter and, if you're familiar with his esoteric filmmaking practice - peppered as it is with some of cinema's most indelible imagery - it all makes a lot of sense. A year after the auteur's passing, a newly opened show at Pace Gallery's Berlin space, Die Tankestelle, foregrounds Lynch's career-spanning fine art practice and its inextricable link to his cinematic oeuvre.

David Lynch has your number. But does it add up? Later he would tell an interviewer that he was in the early stages of planning a mouse kit, with the requisite parts bagged up in his freezer. Sadly, this never came to pass, but Lynch would continue to use unusual objects from dead bees to cigarette ashes in his artworks over the coming decades.

David Lynch expressed that forgetting an idea is one of life's great horrors, often concluding his sentiment with the phrase, 'You want to commit suicide.'

Del Rio's stirring rendition of "Llorando" is often considered the emotional crest of Lynch's 2001 masterpiece, Mulholland Drive.
