The moment of the post-trial Johnny Depp against Amber Heard is proving to be the most eclectic. We first learned that she was releasing an album with his friend Jeff Beck with alleged references to the “Aquaman” actress. After he returned to the cinema with the French film ‘La Favorite’, directed by Maïwenn, in which he will play the figure of the French king Louis XV. Finally, we learned that the actor would have donated the money that Heard had promised to charitable causes and did not fulfill, thus enhancing the figure of him after the media storm that the process entailed.
Now, focused on this new stage of life, Depp would have raised more than $ 3 million in hours after putting his art collection up for sale. He announced it through his Instagram account, with an image in which the actor can be seen in front of several paintings. Depp’s collection is titled “Friends and Heroes” and is exhibited at Castle Fine Art in the UK, which has 37 galleries spread across the country.

Happy with Depp
As soon as Johnny Depp posted the photo on his Instagram account, there was a surge of traffic to the website that caused it to crash. According to Yahoo, the actor revealed the reason for this collection. “I have always used art to express my feelings and to reflect them on those who matter most to me, like my family, my friends and the people I admire. My paintings surround my life, but I keep them with me and they limit me. Nobody should limit themselves “.
For his part, producer Glyn Washington spoke on behalf of Washington Green’s fine art publishers in Birmingham. “Working with Johnny in the process of caring for this collection and producing his limited edition artwork has been a joy and a privilege.. He is very creative, with an extraordinary eye for detail and nuance. I’m looking forward to introducing Johnny’s “Friends and Heroes” to our vast collector base through Castle Fine Art. “.
In a press release, the gallery described Depp’s work as existing in between “the intersection of pop art and street art”. He has long been in talks with the actor to exhibit and sell his work and hopes to host more in the future.
