Danish Quapoor is an Australian interdisciplinary visual artist and curator. His practice (which spans mediums including textiles, ceramics and illustrative paintings) is typically unified by conceptual layers, repetitive processes and a flat-colour style in which anthropomorphised or biomorphic forms float within sparse compositions. Quapoor’s works often explore identity, memory, and increasingly, socio-political commentary.
