Johnny Depp Opens Up His Private World With “A Bunch of Stuff” NYC Art Exhibit

Johnny Depp is stepping off the movie set and into the art world with a deeply personal exhibition titled A Bunch of Stuff, now open at the Starrett-Lehigh Building in New York City. This isn’t just a gallery show — it’s an emotional archive of three decades of creativity, obsession, grief, and reinvention.

The exhibit features over 60 works of art, including paintings, handwritten notes, collages, and artifacts pulled directly from Depp’s personal studios and homes. From moody portraits of cultural icons like Marlon Brando and Keith Richards, to cryptic “word paintings” covered in fragmented thoughts and phrases, the work feels like opening someone’s private journal. It’s raw. It’s chaotic. It’s deeply him.

The space itself is designed as an experience. One room, the “White Box,” is dedicated entirely to Depp’s visual art. Another, the “Black Box,” plays an animated film he narrates — reflecting on how art has been his escape, his medicine, his survival. There are also shelves filled with objects from his personal life: mementos, old sketchbooks, letters, even a tribute to his late dog, Moohman.

This isn’t a show about fame. It’s about the parts of Depp people haven’t seen — or maybe never cared to ask about. While some critics have called it self-indulgent, others see it as a rare and vulnerable act from someone more used to hiding behind characters. Whether you love it or don’t get it at all, A Bunch of Stuff is undeniably honest. And that might be the most surprising thing about it.
