Johnny Depp is also a good portrait painter
In just a few days, 59-year-old Johnny Depp’s artwork has sold for around £4.5m. Art.
Depp is a jack of all trades. Actor, musician, and even a good painter. Johnny specializes in portraits of his famous contemporaries – Bob Marley, Joaquin Phoenix, Heath Ledger, writer and founder of gonzo journalism Hunter S. Thompson, most of whom have recently left us forever. Maybe that’s why there are so many who want to buy their portraits by Depp as a keepsake of their idols.
The master replicates his works, releasing limited edition prints. For a little over a week in London’s Castle Fine Art Gallery, they managed to sell almost 4.5 million pounds. Art. One color portrait costs 4.5 thousand, for all four with a wholesale discount you will have to pay 17.5 thousand rubles.
This is the second “coming” of Depp’s painting to the UK. In July, he exhibited portraits of Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, Elizabeth Taylor and Al Pacino. All paintings were sold in a few hours.
“London is a very creative city,” Johnny explains.
