Johnny Depp’s First Sculpture The Bunnyman Debuts at Istanbul Fair
Johnny Depp has created his first sculpture, called The Bunnyman.
It is a large white bronze figure about two metres tall.
The figure is part human and part rabbit, and it carries a “sword of truth.”
Depp got the idea from a drawing made by his young son Jack.
The drawing reminded Depp of a strange dream he had repeatedly as a child.
The sculpture will be shown outdoors in Istanbul.
It will appear at Contemporary Istanbul from September 22 to 27, 2026.
Depp is also showing more than 200 artworks in a Shanghai exhibition.
Johnny Depp will unveil his first sculpture, The Bunnyman, at Contemporary Istanbul.
The two-metre white bronze sculpture will be displayed outdoors at Tersane Istanbul from September 22 to 27, 2026.
The work depicts a half-human, half-rabbit guardian carrying a “sword of truth.”
Depp developed the figure from a drawing by his young son Jack and a recurring childhood dream.
The unveiling coincides with Depp’s A Bunch of Stuff exhibition in Shanghai, featuring more than 200 artworks.
