About
Danish Quapoor (born 1989, Ipswich, QLD / currently based Townsville, QLD) specialises in fine-lined, stylised illustrations and paper collages. Quapoor employs wordplay, re-contextualisation and personal iconographies to craft intricate and humorous vignettes. His works often explore contradictions and nuances within relationships, religion, sexuality and morality. Organic and geometric forms often float amongst flora, fauna, humanimals and humans, reflecting personal, observed and imagined experiences.
Quapoor has completed numerous solo, group and collaborative exhibitions, studio residencies and live art performances, largely in Queensland and Victoria. Quapoor held a solo exhibition at the Biennale of Australian Art (BOAA) in 2018, and has created numerous illustration collections for African Children’s Stories (Dūcere Foundation). He holds a Master of Arts & Cultural Management (University of Melbourne), a Bachelor of Creative Arts, Honours and a Bachelor of Visual Arts (with Distinction) (both University of Southern Queensland). Beyond these tertiary spheres, Quapoor is informed by collaborations, eavesdropping, op-shopping and pop culture.
