About
Danish Quapoor is a multidisciplinary visual artist based on Gurambilbarra / Townsville. His practice predominantly spans ceramics, textiles and illustrative painting, with forays into animation, murals, collage and photography. Quapoor’s work often subverts his conservative upbringing, interrogating identity, relationships, religion and sexuality. He typically produces flat-colour works in which stylised forms float amidst sparse compositions.
Quapoor was awarded the 2024 Percival Photographic Portrait Prize, and was recently shortlisted for the Gosford Art Prize and North Queensland Ceramics Award. He has exhibited in approximately 100 solo, collaborative and curated / group exhibitions. He was the inaugural 2023 UniSQ School of Creative Arts Alumni Fellow, and holds a Master of Arts & Cultural Management (University of Melbourne), a Bachelor of Visual Arts (BVA) and a BVA (Creative Arts), Honours (UniSQ). Quapoor has had work, reviews and writing published in the Journal of Australian Ceramics, Art Guide, Imprint and Lemonade Letters.
