Johnny Depp brings flowers and Bunnyman to Frieze London week

Johnny Depp has brought flowers, tea and a half-rabbit figure to London for his first major UK show.

The show opened at Halcyon Gallery in London in October 2026, as reported by The Art Newspaper. It centres on Yesterday's Flowers, a 2026 series focused on nature. That is the starting point for the display.

The exhibition also includes Untitled—Yorkshire Tea, a collage dated 2024. It includes The Bunnyman as well. That work is described as the artist's first sculpture, and it depicts a half-human, half-rabbit figure.

The opening coincided with Frieze week in the city. Frieze London and Frieze Masters were staged from 14 to 18 October 2026 at The Regent's Park in London, according to Frieze. They were open to the public from 15 to 18 October. The Art Newspaper published its Frieze London Diary, titled 'Frieze London Diary: pirate-turned-artist Johnny Depp heads to London, an authentic Boer War experience and fake news at the fair', on 15 October 2026.

At the fair itself, artist Marcus Jefferson turned the stand of Harlesden High Street gallery in London into a newspaper bureau installation. The set-up looks like a working newsroom. It is a sharp change of pace on the fair floor.

The installation includes a 1970s filing cabinet and tatty desks. It also includes newsstand posters. The posters reproduce stories published in the Ham & High, a local London paper, dating from 2013. Two headlines are visible: "Police lose stab video" and "Hammer thugs in Rolex robbery".

Colombian artist Ivan Argote launched his show Mamarrachos: Quinceanera at Perrotin gallery in London. The show includes a work called Circles. It involves spraying gallery walls using cans on chains, a process-led way of painting that leaves its motion on the wall.

The Argote show also offers a limited-edition Dinosaur T-shirt. The shirt depicts his pigeon work that appeared on the High Line in New York earlier in 2026. The High Line is a public park built on a former rail line.

At Pilar Corrias in London, Rirkrit Tiravanija opened an exhibition titled Situational Awareness. The exhibition references the gallery's former use as a military outfitters premises, a shop that supplied uniforms and kit. That history shapes the staging.

A working tailor is installed in the space. He was tasked with deconstructing and reversing historic military uniforms. At the private view, the invitation-only preview before public opening, he had opened up a thick woollen Boer War jacket.
