14. Chris Duffy (Ha Ho Art)

Painting & Street Art

Chris Duffy, known as Ha Ho Art, is an energetic and imaginative pop and street artist deeply rooted in Bendigo’s visual culture.

Based in the city’s CBD, he was born in Melbourne in 1966 and raised in London before returning to Australia. He completed a Fine Arts degree with honours at La Trobe University Bendigo in 1999.

His vibrant works fuse hand-painted acrylics with digitally based design, featuring bold colours, retro nostalgia, and pop-culture references. Duffy works on canvas, board, and shaped cutouts, often using a jigsaw for added depth.

His murals enliven central Bendigo, including a major work at Dudley House's garden. Through exhibitions like Astro Bendigo, he brings humour, colour, and a strong sense of place to his storytelling.
