On October 13, 2026, a large-scale exhibition of Johnny Depp's artwork titled *A Bunch of Stuff* opened at London's Halcyon Gallery (148 New Bond Street). Running through November 15, the exhibition brings together paintings, drawings, collages, and the actor's first-ever sculpture. This London showcase is a stop on an international tour that previously visited the Museum of Contemporary Art in Shanghai, continuing a series of exhibitions that began in 2022 with the *Friends & Heroes* collection, whose first edition sold out worldwide in a matter of hours.

### A Decade of Creativity: What's on Display in London

The exhibition spans approximately a decade of Depp's artistic work, showcasing a wide range of his interests—from fantastical characters and psychological portraits to imagery inspired by people who have played a vital role in the actor's life. The works trace themes of self-discovery, individuality, and outsiders who do not fit into conventional societal frameworks. Among the figures are heroes, friends, muses, and fictional entities, alongside self-portraits and artistic alter egos. According to the curators, each piece reflects Depp's personal experiences and passions at various stages of his life.

### "Art Came to Me Before Music and Film"

Commenting on the exhibition, Depp shared that creativity became his way of escaping into his own world during childhood. "Since I can remember, I've always taken a pencil and drawn on paper or some surface. As a child, I drew on many walls. I tried to escape into these little drawings," the actor stated. According to him, visual art preceded music and cinema in his life, serving as his primary language of self-expression. However, Depp's public history as an artist only began in 2022, when the *Friends & Heroes* collection caught the attention of galleries and collectors worldwide.

### Roses as a Portrait of His Daughter

A special place in the London exhibition is held by paintings depicting roses. For Depp, this flower has transformed into a unique visual portrait of his daughter, Lily-Rose. "Infused with symbolism, this simple rose balances on the fine line between the eternal and the ephemeral, the strong and the fragile," notes the gallery's description. Works featuring roses have become one of the most recognizable motifs in the actor's oeuvre and, in the curators' view, best convey his approach to blending fragility and resilience when portraying loved ones.

### Bunnyman: First Sculpture and Childhood Trauma

The centerpiece of the London exhibition is the sculpture *The Bunnyman*—a creature combining human and rabbit features holding a "sword of truth." The history of the image is rooted in Depp's childhood: the catalyst for creating the sculpture was a drawing by his five-year-old son, Jack, while the figure itself reminded the actor of a recurring childhood dream. According to Depp, this dream character, blending human and rabbit traits, was independently seen by both him and his son. Over time, Bunnyman became a constant motif in the actor's sketches, paintings, and prints. Prior to the London showing, the sculpture had already been exhibited at the Contemporary Istanbul international art fair in Turkey and at an exhibition in Düsseldorf's Benrath Palace, where 60 of Depp's works were presented in August 2026.

### Context: Depp the Artist on the International Stage

The London exhibition fits into Depp's active artistic agenda for 2026. In August of that year, a retrospective of 60 works took place at Benrath Palace in Düsseldorf, featuring unique pieces, monoprints, and limited-edition prints. One of the central works in Düsseldorf was the painting *Five*, tied to a difficult period in the actor's life and based on a photograph from a Dior Sauvage advertising campaign, to which Depp added a mark of five strokes as a token of gratitude for support. Concurrently with his artistic endeavors, the actor is preparing to film an English-language adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov's novel *The Master and Margarita*, slated to begin in the second half of 2026. Thus, the Halcyon Gallery exhibition in London is not merely a gallery event, but part of Depp's broader cultural strategy where painting, sculpture, and cinema coexist as equal forms of expression.
