Johnny Depp's Debut Exhibition: A Bunch Of Stuff

Johnny Depp's Debut Exhibition: A Bunch Of Stuff

It is with great enthusiasm that we present

'A Bunch Of Stuff'



“Through the magic and madness of life, art has been my sanctuary. These pieces, born of different stages of my journey are a residue of a life lived. Creation is not always a comfortable process, but for me, it’s a necessary one.” 
〜 Johnny Depp.

A Bunch Of Stuff is a landmark immersive exhibition showcasing artworks by Johnny Depp, one of the most versatile creative talents of today. The exhibition has been created in association with BAUART, burgeoning creator of world-class museums, exhibitions, and experiences, and their partners TAIT, a global leader in culture-defining experiences. Together, we have brought Johnny's works and creative process to life through an experiential alchemy of animation, sound, narration, scent and more.

Opening on October 4th in West Chelsea, A Bunch of Stuff will take the viewer through an intimate exploration of Johnny’s artwork for the first time. They will experience works that span from his early twenties all the way through to the present day. The exhibition is enriched with a multitude of personal artefacts and pieces that hold his distinctive personality and sense of humour. It will also feature a new series of graphic works produced specifically for the exhibition, such as Hedy Lamarr. Other poignant works include the impasto Death by Confetti, which is a pointed take on ‘celebrity and what it is to live in the public eye’.

The artist's practice is characterised by the same depth that influences his powerful work in other mediums. Johnny’s style is recognised for a stream of consciousness and spontaneous portrayal of the human condition. Guests will be enveloped by the exhibition’s cinematic score, immersive animations, and unique experiential gallery spaces. Each of the six galleries within the space draw references from Johnny's artistic techniques and the bohemian interiors of his eclectic studios and homes. This personal ephemera will offer viewers the opportunity to glimpse into Johnny's creative world.

“Johnny Depp is celebrated worldwide as an actor, director and musician. What is less well known is that art has played a deeply personal and highly important role in his life since childhood,” explained Guy Vesey, BAUART Co-founder. “We believe A Bunch of Stuff will leave audiences inspired to create; to realise, as Depp exemplifies, that art can be more than just paint on canvas. That it can be healing and transformative.”
