Bob Marley

2022 saw Johnny Depp's debut collection Friends & Heroes sell out almost immediately across the world. The collection focused on people he has known well, and who have inspired him as a person, including Elizabeth Taylor, Bob Dylan, Al Pacino, and Keith Richards. Now, in 2023, we see the release of Johnny's much anticipated second instalment of Friends & Heroes including this vivid portrait of Bob Marley.

Each image is an intimate reflection of their character in Johnny's eyes; a portrayal of how they have revealed themselves to him. Working from photographic references, each image has been stripped back to a simpler and iconic portrayal of the subject, which Johnny has then developed and energised with his characteristic freehand flourishes. You can view the full portfolio of portraits here or learn more about the artist on our blog here.
