Johnny Depp will be showcasing his first-ever three-dimensional artwork. It will be displayed at an Istanbul art fair this month. Read to know more.
Johnny Depp, known for his memorable performances in films such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Edward Scissorhands and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, is now exploring another side of his creativity. The actor, who has also been pursuing visual art for years, is set to unveil his first-ever sculpture, The Bunnyman, at the Contemporary Istanbul art fair later this month.
Johnny Depp's first art fair in Istanbul
The art foundation shared a post confirming the art fair, along with the description and images. The caption described the reason behind the art fair and the core memory. It stated, "Johnny Depp’s journey into creating The Bunnyman began with a simple sketch by his 5-year-old son Jack. Inspired by this innocent doodle, Johnny reimagined the figure. As the character took shape, he was reminded of a recurring childhood dream in which he saw a figure standing in the doorway to his basement, motionless, yet with a fluid sand-like aura. Weaving together these two inspirations, The Bunnyman was created."

The public unveiling of the sculpture is set to take place at the Contemporary Istanbul art fair, running from Sept. 22 to Sept. 27, 2026. The artwork will be presented outdoors at Tersane Istanbul, a massive, transformed Ottoman shipyard stretching along the waters of the Golden Horn. The dramatic open-air positioning perfectly mirrors the mythic, sentinel-like status Depp envisioned for his guardian, offering an atmospheric space for The Bunnyman to finally step out of the shadows and into the spotlight.
