Actor, director, musician, and now also an artist. Johnny Depp continues to add notes to his business card thanks to the latest news about him, namely creating a self-portrait which immediately caused a lot of talk.
In truth, this is not the first time that the former face of the saga of Pirates of the Caribbean he devotes himself to art: last year he already painted a series of paintings known as Friends and Heroeslater sold for $3.6 million. Now he has ventured into a new artistic enterprise, open Fine Art Castle.
In the video, Johnny Depp showed his self-portrait by name fivewhich is sold in series on the art house website for only thirteen days, starting from yesterday, Thursday, July 20, at a base price of $1,950. Apparently, the duration of the sale is not accidental and is a very important number for the actor and artist.
The style is that of his previous work and was inspired by a photo of him taken during a photo shoot with Christian Dior Perfume in 2015, the same company that a few days ago guaranteed him a record contract in the history of the industry. It was the shooter at that time Jean-Baptiste Mondino.
“I did this at Ralph Steadman’s studio around 2021. – he said in the presentation video – This self-portrait was taken at the time when I was… a little dark, confused. I looked at it and I don’t know why I thought it needed more. More information“. Then he added: “When I felt the need to just write the countdown, I just added “five” because I was entering the fifth year of this madness.”, a clear reference to the court case with Amber Heard.
Curiously, the big star also admitted that not everything was so rosy making this picture:Not the most convenient occupation, self-portrait. Although, oddly enough, almost everything that a person does, one way or another“.
