Street Art Bushranger presents a bold exploration of Australian popular culture through the work of renowned street artist HA-HA. Drawing on imagery from mass media and the visual noise of contemporary life, the exhibition examines the obsessions shaping the 21st century, including reality television, celebrity, sport, crime, wealth and the pursuit of instant notoriety. Central to HA-HA's practice is a painstaking, analogue process. Using hand-cut, multi-layered stencils — sometimes comprising up to forty layers, the artist creates highly detailed images sourced from newspapers, digital media and original photography. Working without digital cutting tools, the technique reflects technical mastery and a commitment to physical making in an increasingly digital world. The exhibition is closely linked to Benalla through HA-HA's iconic stencilled portrait of Ned Kelly. The artist draws a parallel between Kelly's outlaw legacy and the criminalisation of street art, framing both as acts of resistance against authority, a connection that resonates strongly within the local landscape. Alongside portraits connected to the Kelly narrative, Street Art Bushranger also showcases HA-HA's experimentation with new technologies, including augmented reality animations and musical scores generated through a mathematical translation of the stencil-making process, extending the work into sound and motion. Official exhibition of the Benalla Street Art Festival.
