The Bunnyman Genesis – Framed Set Of Four

A hand-signed limited edition framed artwork set by Johnny Depp.

In latest series,  (2023), an intriguing, silhouetted figure stands before four different, yet parallel, realms in the collection of mixed media prints: ‘Origins’, ‘Cosmic’, ‘Flowers’ and ‘Multiverse’. Layering each composition with varying textures, contrasting blocks of colour and confident mark-making, Depp has developed a body of work which demonstrates his expressive creativity. 

Having experimented with The Bunnyman image for years, Depp has now fully envisioned him in this bold new series. Infused with a celestial undertone, the symbolic figure stands resolute, adopting the same pose within each of the artist’s conjured dreamscapes. As if sharing his protagonist’s origin story, gives viewers glimpses of a character who existed in his dreams before arriving in his son’s. Not only an inseparable friend and powerful self-representation of Depp, The Bunnyman is also an icon of his imagination.

Some years ago, Depp saw a sketch of a figure by his son, who’d been unsettled by a nightmare in which he’d appeared. The figure reminded the artist that, decades before, he’d also experienced recurring dreams involving this character. “But that dream kept coming to me, I had it a lot and that’s sort of what The Bunnyman became, is that figure in the dream”. They were connected by this shared night-time vision, but Depp perceived it as more comforting, than haunting: “There he was a benevolent creature, like he was there to warn me in my dream.”

‘Origins’ is the foundational artwork in The Bunnyman Genesis. Depicting the first portrayal of the character created by Johnny, the colour of war and love reflects the key traits of The Bunnyman – he is bold, powerful, a guardian warding off evil spirits.

In the artwork ‘Cosmic,’ The Bunnyman embarks on a celestial journey. Seen by Johnny as “powerfully standing with a sword of truth”, in this artwork The Bunnyman stands resolute amongst the galaxies, signifying his role as a universal guardian – and yet he belongs to no single world.

: Titled ‘Flowers’, this artwork features The Bunnyman within an abstract meadow of poppies. By placing The Bunnyman amongst the same flowers, he symbolises the human capacity to confront nightmares, face our fears and emerge stronger, blooming like poppies, as we journey from the realm of dreams into the light of a new day.

Within the tapestry of ‘Multiverse’, The Bunnyman boldly transcends the boundaries of reality, venturing into the realm of the extraordinary and shifting between the layers of the multiverse, he embodies the spirit of unwavering curiosity and courage.
